Club career[edit]

Born in Muniesa, Teruel, Aragon, Bernal represented the youth sides of Santa Isabel RSD, San Gregorio CD and AD Stadium Casablanca. He signed for Real Zaragoza in 2015, being loaned to Tercera División side SD Tarazona on 24 September of that year.[1]

Back to Zaragoza in July 2016, Bernal was assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division. In August 2017, after being an undisputed starter, he moved to Segunda División B newcomers AD Unión Adarve.[2]

On 19 July 2018, Bernal agreed to a three-year contract with Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, freshly relegated to the third tier.[3] On 5 July 2019, he signed a two-year deal with Levante UD's reserves in the same category.[4]

On 12 August 2020, Bernal was transferred to fellow third division side CF Rayo Majadahonda.[5] On 4 July 2022, he joined Primera Federación side Racing de Ferrol on a two-year deal,[6] and was first-choice during his first season as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División after 15 years.[7]

Bernal made his professional debut at the age of 26 on 12 August 2023, starting in a 1–0 away win over Elche CF.[8]
