Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Navarro finished his graduation on loan at CF Damm, after representing CF Badalona, FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol. In July 2014, he was assigned to the latter's reserve team in Segunda División B.[1]

Navarro made his senior debut on 2 November 2014, coming on as a second half substitute for Rober Correa in a 1–2 away loss against Elche CF Ilicitano.[2] His first goal came on 5 September of the following year, the winner in a 3–2 home success over FC Barcelona B.[3]

On 22 December 2015, Navarro signed a one-year extension with the club, with his new contract running until June 2017.[4] The following 4 January, however, he suffered a severe knee injury, being sidelined for six months.[5]

Navarro made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 21 January 2017, starting and scoring the last in a 3–1 home win against Granada CF.[6] He became the first youth graduate to score a goal since Raúl Tamudo in 1997.[7]
