Navarro was born in Seville, Andalusia, represented Colegio Salesianos de Triana, CD Utrera and Sevilla FC as a youth.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 17 March 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 Tercera División away draw against CMD San Juan.

Navarro subsequently established himself as a regular starter for the C-side, and also appeared rarely with the reserves during the 2015–16 season, as the club achieved promotion in Segunda División B. On 17 July 2016, he signed for another reserve team, UD Almería B in the fourth tier.[2]

On 12 July 2017, Navarro agreed to a deal with Real Valladolid, being assigned to B-team in the third level.[3] He moved to fellow league team Burgos CF on 7 August 2020,[4] and helped in their promotion to Segunda División after a 19-year absence in 2021.

Navarro made his professional debut on 15 August 2021, starting in a 0–1 away draw against Sporting de Gijón.[5] On 7 June 2023, he renewed his contract until 2025.[6]
