Berry returned to Australia in mid-2015, and joined Central Coast Mariners, where he represented the senior side in pre-season matches as a trialist, including setting up a goal for Daniel Heffernan against Western Sydney Wanderers.[4] He was later named in the Central Coast Mariners youth team.[5] He made his competitive debut for the club in February 2016, coming on as a substitute in a loss to Melbourne City.[6]

Berry made his debut for the Australian under-20 side in May 2015 in a loss to the United States in Gosford, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jaushua Sotirio.[7] He was subsequently selected in the Australia squad for 2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualification.[8]
