 Bergqvist would stay as the team's regular goalkeeper up until 1934, playing in the Swedish second tier then known as Division 2.He enjoyed a short stint at the Allsvenskan club AIK, one of Hammarby's main rivals, during the season of 1935.But Bergqvist failed to make a single appearance for the club and soon returned to Hammarby, reportedly turning down a move abroad to then French giants Racing Club de Paris, that would have turned Bergqvist into the first professional Swedish footballer.
