Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Navarro represented RCD Espanyol, UE Cornellà and CE Vila Olímpica before joining Málaga CF in July 2015.[2] On 7 September 2016, after finishing his formation, he joined Tercera División side CE Europa,[3] and made his senior debut during the campaign.

On 13 June 2017, despite struggling with injuries, Navarro signed a new one-year deal with the Escapulats.[4] The following 31 January, he was transferred to Cádiz CF and was assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division.[5]

Navarro made his first team debut for the Andalusians on 18 August 2019; after coming on as a half-time substitute for Jon Ander Garrido, he scored the equalizer in a 3–1 home defeat of SD Ponferradina in the Segunda División.[6] The following 29 January, he moved to the latter club on loan for the remainder of the season.[7]

On 16 September 2020, Navarro joined fellow second division side Albacete Balompié, on loan for one year.[8] The following 18 January, after suffering a knee injury, his loan was cut short,[9] and his contract was terminated on 13 July 2021.[10]

On 29 January 2024, Navarro signed a contract with Wil until the end of the 2023–24 season.[11]

On 10 May 2024, Navarro signed a two-year contract with Vaduz.[12]
