Melbourne City
After impressing whilst playing the youth leagues of NPL South Australia, Bernardo signed for Melbourne City on a scholarship contract, on 7 November 2019, being regarded by City director Michael Petrillo as "one of the best players in the 2004 crop of Australian players". During his time at City, he broke into the Melbourne City NPL squad in 2021, making 2 league appearances in NPL Victoria 3 before the league cut short due to COVID.

Adelaide United
On 12 April 2021, Bernardo moved back to Adelaide to join with Adelaide United signing a scholarship contract that would expire in 2023. This made him the second player whose father had previously played for the club, following Domenic Costanzo in 2020. Bernardo made his professional club debut in a 3–1 win over Floreat Athena in the 2021 FFA Cup Round of 32. He scored on his A-League debut, on 12 February 2022, in a 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix equalising for his team by full time.

Bernardo extended his contract with Adelaide at the conclusion of 2021–22 A-League season, with a set date to expire in 2025. At the beginning of the 2022–23 season, Bernardo suffered a fracture on his right fifth metatarsal bone during international break which led him to receive surgery and took him out for the rest of the season.

Bernardo's contract was mutually terminated on 16 January 2024, with one year remaining, to "pursue another opportunity." The same day he signed with A-League Men club Macarthur FC.

International career
