He moved to Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB), the reserve team of FC Copenhagen of the top-flight Danish Superliga. Bergvold played for various Danish national teams, regularly featuring as team captain, and he won the 2000 Danish Under-17 Player of the Year award.
He made his senior debut for Copenhagen in December 2002, and was a member of the squad which won the 2002–03 Superliga championship.
