Football career

[edit]

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Bernal was a product of hometown Real Betis' youth system, and made senior debuts with the reserves in the 2010–11 season in Segunda División B, appearing regularly during his two-year spell with the team.

On 25 July 2012, Bernal joined La Liga club Granada CF:[1] despite appearing with the first team in the pre-season, he was loaned to newly promoted CD Mirandés in Segunda División.[2] He played his first game as a professional on 25 August, featuring the last 14 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Recreativo de Huelva.[3]

After being rarely used, Bernal moved to CD Leganés in the following transfer window, on the same basis.[4] On 22 August 2013, he signed for fellow third level side SD Huesca.[5] Halfway through their title-winning season, having made only one start, he rescinded his contract in January 2015 and moved to La Hoya Lorca CF.[6]

In August 2016, Bernal signed for Mérida AD under manager José Miguel Campos, with whom he had worked at four other teams.[7] He left the club at the midpoint of their doomed campaign on 31 January 2018, joining Marbella FC of the same league on an 18-month contract.[8] At the end of this deal, he got a two-year extension.[9]

On 30 July 2021, Bernal joined Segunda División RFEF side Córdoba CF on a 1+1 deal.[10] He helped in their promotion to Primera Federación, but left on 16 January 2023 to join fellow third division side CD Eldense;[11] with the latter side, he was mainly used as a substitute as they returned to the second level after 59 years.
