After leaving Nippo–Provence–PTS Conti in August 2021 he rejoined the team for the 2022 season.[5][6] Berhe spent Stages 2 and 3 of the Istrian Spring Trophy in the break-away.

Berhe continued the race with minor injuries.[8] Berhe signed a three-year deal to ride for UCI WorldTeam Team Jayco–AlUla from 2023.[9][10]
