However in the 2007-2008 season in January Berg decided to move back to Denmark because he liked the Danish play style better than the style in Norway. He signed a 3 year binding contract with the Danish SAS liga club Randers FC.

Berg made his first appearance for Randers in the danish cup quarter finals where he was in the starting line forming an attack duo with the also newly arrived teammate Marc Nygaard but was forced off the pitch soon after the start whistle do to an injury in his back. However the injury wasn't serious and Berg was back on the field the next week. [2] Søren berg scored his first goal for randers FC April 19. Randers played at home against FC København.
