Born in
Tilburg, Ghering spent almost his entire football career representing hometown club

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.
International career
Ghering made his debut in the Netherlands national team on 18 April 1927, gaining a total of 9 caps until 4 November 1928. He scored 6 goals. In addition to
Oranje, he also played for the Southern Netherlands national team and the Olympic team.
Style of play
Ghering was a "quick and tactical" striker, renowned for his powerful striking ability, with either foot.
