Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Navarro represented RCD Espanyol, UE Cornellà and CE Vila Olímpica before joining Málaga CF in July 2015.[1] On 7 September 2016, after finishing his formation, he joined Tercera División side CE Europa,[2] 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.[3] The following 31 January, he was transferred to Cádiz CF and was assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division.[4]

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 for the Segunda División championship.[5] The following 29 January, he moved to the latter club on loan for the remainder of the season.[6]

On 16 September 2020, Navarro joined fellow second division side Albacete Balompié, on loan for one year.[7] The following 18 January, after suffering a knee injury, his loan was cut short.[8]
