Club career
Bernardo was promoted to professionals in 2009 to the professional team of Cruzeiro, after a distinguished in Copa São Paulo de Juniores, where he was the top scorer.
Bernardo's professional debut was in a 5-0 victory against Guarani-MG in the State Championship. He began to be used more frequently after injuries to players Wágner, Fernandinho, and Sorín. His first professional goal was a penalty he scored in a 7-0 victory against the Democrata.
In May 2010, Bernando was loaned to Goiás until the end of that year.
In January 2011, he joined Vasco on loan. He was part of the squad that won the Copa do Brasil in June, contributing with 2 goals. Bernardo finished the season as Vasco's top scorer, with 18 goals. He scored many important goals, like in the Copa Sudamericana semi-finals against U de Chile, and in the penultimate league matchday against Fluminense. Vasco had a great campaign in the Serie A, finishing runner-up, just two points from champions Corinthians.
Due to his impressive performances, Vasco decided to make his loan permanent and he was signed on a 3 year contract. For the 2012 season, he was loaned out to Santos. In May 2012, he suffered an injury, which kept him out until the beginning of September, and limited his involvement with the club.[1]
For 2013 he returned to Vasco. He began the season strongly, scoring 7 goals in 10 matches, including one in the semi-final against Fluminense, to help his club finish runner-up in the Campeonato Carioca. However, he suffered another injury in April 2013, in the state league against Quissamã, which required surgery and kept him out until October.[2] The team struggled without him and were relegated at the end of the year, with Bernardo limited to only 4 league appearances.
He played the 2014 Carioca at the beginning of the year and scored 3 goals, but was loaned out to Palmeiras for in May for the 2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.[3] However he had limited playing time at Palmeiras (only 8 appearances) because he was close to the bottom of the pecking order, behind players like Jorge Valdivia and Alan Kardec. Another reason could be attributed to the team's struggles as the club nearly suffered relegation.
He returned to Vasco for the 2015 season; however, in June, he was suspended by the club president for indiscipline.[4]
In November 2020, Bernando joined Hong Kong Premier League club Pegasus.[5]
On 12 February 2021, Bernardo terminated his contract with Pegasus to return to Brazil and sign with Rio Branco.[6]
