After progressing through the academy with Posh, he made his first team debut in April 2017. The Malta Under-19 international went on to play four times for The Posh before joining local side Kettering Town on loan during the first half of the 2018/19 season.

Aged 17, Kevin Berkoe is a defender for Premier League side Wolves. He plays most of his football in the Under-18 Premier League, featuring for Wolves Under-18s ten times so far this season. Berkoe has played 24 times for Wolves Under-18s, featuring at both left-back and left-midfield.
