Berens started with Musselburgh before joining Leeds City in June 1909, when he was just sixteen. He was one of many young players that Manager Frank Scott-Walford had signed from Scottish or Irish clubs as he scoured those countries for cheap bargains. He remained with City for just one season and was never anything more than a Reserve team player but did play on very rare occasions in the first team when injuries made it necessary. City were well served at Right-Half by Tom McAllister and his deputy, the Welsh International, Haydn Price and later Jimmy Horsley was bought as further cover. Berens had time on his side, but did not play in the Football League after leaving City at the end of the 1909-1910 season. He died in his home-town of Leith in 1961.
