Club career

Bernat began his career with FC Ascó in the Tercera División, the Spanish fourth tier, where he played for two seasons, scoring one goal.[2]

In 2019, he agreed to join CF Reus Deportiu B and was sent to Canada to trial with Major League Soccer club Toronto FC.[3] [4] He then returned to Spain, however, Reus was expelled from the Spanish league prior to the season, for failing to pay their reserve players and he became a free agent again.[5]

In May 2021, he signed with Toronto FC II of USL League One. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was forced to take a 17 day quarantine upon arriving in Canada, after which he was able to train for a week to the club, before undergoing another two-week quarantine after the team moved to Arizona in the United States, where they would play the season.[10] He made his debut for Toronto FC II on May 22, 2021 against North Texas SC.[11] He recorded his first assist on June 2, on a goal by Kosi Thompson.[12]

In January 2022, he returned to his former club FC Ascó, now in the fifth tier Tercera División RFEF.[13] [14] [15]

In July 2022, he joined Cerdanyola del Vallès FC in the fourth tier Segunda Federación.[16]
