Bernat was born in Morud,[1] a town on the island of Funen. His father, Robert Bernat, is a former goalkeeper who played for B 1909, Næsby Boldklub and Vejle Boldklub.[5][1] He is of Polish descent through his father, whose parents fled to Denmark from Poland after World War II.[6]
Bernat started his career for local clubs on Funen, Morud IF and Næsby Boldklub,[4] before moving to the biggest club on the island, OB. He moved to the FC Nordsjælland academy in January 2016, but returned to OB after six months, where he signed a three-year youth contract.[7] Bernat progressed through the youth system and went on a trials with two Premier League clubs; Brighton & Hove Albion in 2017 and Manchester United in August 2018.[8][9] He eventually continued playing for OB, signing his first professional contract – a two-year deal – with the club on 16 March 2019, as he was also promoted to the first-team squad.[10] Bernat signed another contract extension on 29 December 2019, keeping him part of the club until 2024.[11]
Bernat made his professional debut on 8 July 2020, starting the game against Silkeborg IF.[12]
