Club career
Vida
On 13 August 2007, Bengtson made his official debut for C.D. Vida against Olimpia He scored his first goal against Real España on 30 September 2007 in the tie 1–1 in San Pedro Sula. During his stay at Vida he scored 32 goals.[1]
Motagua
On 26 November 2010, Motagua reached an agreement with Vida, for the acquisition of Bengtson, signing a three-year contract.[2] He scored his first goal with Motagua on 30 January 2011 in the 1–0 win over C.D. Marathón.[3]
On 8 May 2011, Bengtson scored his 13th goal of the Clausura Tournament in the first leg of the final against Olimpia. This goal put him in first place among the league's top scorers and enabled him to become the first Honduran-born player to achieve the feat in three consecutive tournaments after winning the previous two with C.D. Vida. He would go on to score two more goals in the second leg to solidify his title as the league's top scorer.
In the early part of 2012 Jerry suffered his worst goal drought of his career in Honduras, scoring only 2 goals in 18 games. With the forthcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, the lack of goals concerned the Honduran people. This because of Jerry's role as main goalscorer in the Honduras National Football Team, due to Carlo Costly being a free agent making him unreliable.

Bengtson was officially unveiled by New England as a Designated Player on 5 July 2012.[4]
Persepolis
