Club career

Born in Tilburg, Ghering spent almost his entire football career representing hometown club LONGA, with which he won the 1925–26 KNVB Cup. Ghering was presumably a part of LONGA from the club's foundation in 1920 or shortly thereafter. In the 1926 cup final against De Spartaan from Amsterdam he scored the 3–0 and the 4–0 goals on the way to a 5–2 win. From 1921 to 1924, Ghering played for Willem II, another club from Tilburg, where he won the Eerste Klasse South in 1922–23. In 1927, Ghering was promoted to the Eerste Klasse South with LONGA, after he had returned to the club in 1924.
