Berry Powel (born in May 2, 1980), is a Dutch professional footballer, who currently plays for FC Groningen since 2008. Powel was born in Utrecht and also served FC Den Bosch and Millwall.
Powel started playing football at AFC Quick 1890 and succeeded at the non-professional club Roda'46. Powel was discovered by FC Den Bosch, and in 2003 he made his debut for the club's 1st team. In his 1st season at the club, he scored 9 goals in 26 games for FC Den Bosch, when they played in the Eerste Divisie. Powel became champions with his club and FC Den Bosch promoted to the Eredivisie. In the Eredivisie he scored 2 goals in 29 games. Den Bosch was relegated to the Eerste Divisie again, and following that several players like Koen van de Laak, Mourad Mghizrat, Jochen Janssen and Dennis Schulp left the club, making Powel the vanguard of the club.
After 26 games and 19 goals in the 2005/2006 season, he was transferred to Millwall. In his first game for Millwall, he scored a goal after only 2 minutes, giving Millwall a draw against Cardiff. After Millwall relegated to the Football League One, he was transferred to De Graafschap where he signed a contract for 3 seasons. Playing at Doetinchem club, he had a pivotal role during the first half of his first season at the team, scoring 29 goals and becoming the topscorer of Eerste Divisie. So, after losing Erik Nevland to Fulham FC, FC Groningen signed Powel for a one-year-and-a-half deal, at January 31, 2008.
