Club career

edit

Born in Los Palacios y Villafranca, Seville, Andalusia, Bernabé was a Real Betis youth graduate. On 5 November 2011, due to the injuries of Adrián and Antonio Ayala,[1] he made his senior debut with the reserves by starting in a 0–3 Segunda División B away loss against Sporting Villanueva Promesas.[2]

In July 2013 Bernabé moved to another reserve team, Atlético Madrid B also in the third division.[3] Mainly a backup to Bono and David Gil, he only became a starter during the 2015–16 campaign, with his side now in Tercera División.

On 5 July 2017, Bernabé left Atleti, despite training regularly with the main squad since October 2014.[4] On 20 July, he signed a three-year contract with Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona, mainly as a replacement to departing Manolo Reina.[5]

On 7 October 2017 Bernabé made his professional debut by starting, committing a penalty and being replaced by José Perales after being injured in a 0–2 away loss against CD Tenerife.[6] Midway through the 2018–19 season, he became the club's first choice under manager Enrique Martín, overtaking new signing Isaac Becerra.[7]

On 1 June 2020, Bernabé terminated his contract with Nàstic,[8] and signed a two-year deal with Albacete Balompié in the second division on 15 August.[9]
