Bergman, a Sandringham Dragons product, was reportedly seriously on the radar of numerous Victorian rivals.
However, Wednesday's developments, while not officially communicated by the Power, would suggest Port has secured a major recruiting victory in seemingly cementing the future of one of its key long-term players.
Bergman has showcased his prowess this season in what has been a breakout campaign.
Whether it be distributing the football efficiently, shutting down the opposition's dangerous mid-sized forward, or applying general defensive pressure, the half-back-flanker has built himself into one of coach Ken Hinkley's most reliable contributors.
Port Adelaide is fixtured to play Essendon this weekend at the MCG, as it looks to snatch its 12th-straight victory.
