“That’s the main reason why I went here, hopefully I can get a lot of playing time and get a really good experience and the Championship is a really good league as well and really hard," Van den Berg said, as reported by LancsLive.
"It’s physical, it’s quick, from end to end, so it will be perfect for me if I get some minutes and get experience and develop myself so that’s the main target for me here.
“It’s the most important thing in my opinion to build a relationship with the whole team really and especially as a back four.
“When I came in, everyone was nice to me, everyone helped me, so that immediately gave me a good feeling."
Van den Berg made his debut for Preston North End in a 2-1 loss to Rotherham United.
The young centre-back came on for 18 minutes and should see further game time as Preston continue to try and get a playoff spot.
