Club career

Born in Zafra, Province of Badajoz, Bernardo started playing professionally with Real Oviedo. In the 1999–2000 season he was part the clubs's La Liga roster, but would only appear officially with the reserves during his spell in Asturias, subsequently resuming his career in Segunda División B.
In 2005, Bernardo returned to the professionals with Deportivo Alavés in Segunda División, who loaned him for two seasons to fellow league side CD Tenerife. He was first-choice in three of those four campaigns – being relegated in 2008–09 with the Basques – then backed up Vicente Guaita and Fabri at Recreativo de Huelva for two years.
In the summer of 2011, Bernardo joined SD Huesca of the second tier. He was released in the following transfer window, joining Dunfermline Athletic in early April 2012 and being Jim Jefferies' first signing as team manager.
Bernardo made his Scottish Premier League on the final day of the season in a 1–2 home loss against Kilmarnock, but left the club a week later when his short-term contract expired. Subsequently, he spent two years as backup in second-tier's CD Mirandés.
