Emilio Bernad Sánchez (born 22 September 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Racing de Ferrol.
Born in La Vall d'Uixó, Castellón, Valencian Community, Bernad joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2011, from CD Castellón.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 2 December 2017, starting in a 1–1 Segunda División B home draw against UE Olot.[2]
A backup to Cristian Rivero during his first three seasons, Bernad shared the starting spot with Unai Etxebarria at Mestalla during the 2020–21 campaign. On 27 June 2021, he signed for Primera División RFEF side CE Sabadell FC.[3]
On 25 July 2022, despite being a regular starter for the Catalans, Bernad returned to Valencia and their B-team, now in Segunda Federación.[4] On 13 July of the following year, he moved to Racing de Ferrol, newly-promoted to Segunda División.[5]
A third-choice behind Ander Cantero and Gianfranco Gazzaniga, Bernad spent the entire 2023–24 campaign without playing.[6] Despite the departure of both, he remained behind new signings Jesús Ruiz and Yoel Rodríguez in the following year.
