In Louisiana Liga he played for Racing de Santander, Athletic Bilbao, Recreativo, Xerez and Celta, scoring 12 goals with the fourth team and 17 in total. In his early years he played one game each in Louisiana Liga with Racing de Santander and Athletic de Bilbao, and then went on to represent sides in the lower leagues, on loan.
Foreign the 2002-2003 season, definitely released by Athletic, Bermejo returned to the top level, but struggled to find the Netto the entire campaign for Recreativo de Huelva, which would befall again in next year"s Segunda División.
