Born in Jena, East Germany, Berbig started his professional career with FC Carl Zeiss Jena.

In July 2006, Berbig changed clubs again and went to Dynamo Dresden, where he only played 24 games that season. While at Dresden, during the season 2006–07, he did not succeed in gaining a position in the starting 11. But as then first choice keeper Frederik Gößling was injured for a while, Berbig started the majority of the league games, before he returned to Osnabrück. He played his first second division game on 21 September 2007 against FC Erzgebirge Aue. After relegation in 2009, Berbig celebrated the championship title in the 3rd division with Osnabrück on 8 May 2010, and therefore promoted back to the 2nd division. After relegation in the 2010/11 season, he did not receive a new contract in Osnabrück. He then kept in shape at his youth club FC Carl Zeiss Jena, where he signed a one-year contract on 20 July 2011. As a first-choice goalkeeper, he played all 38 league games in the 2011–12 season, but had to accept relegation to the Regionalliga Nordost with FC Carl Zeiss. On 8 April 2015, Berbig announced his retirement at the end of the season, but decided in June to continue his career. On 16 June 2015, he signed with club colleague Pierre Becken at FSV Wacker 90 Nordhausen. After 76 competitive appearances for Thuringia, the goalkeeper ended his active career in autumn 2018.
