Career

Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, Navarro started his career at hometown club Liverpool, coming through the youth system before signing a professional contract with the club in the summer of 2000. On 22 March 2001, Navarro joined Crewe Alexandra on loan for six weeks, making eight appearances and scoring one goal.[1]

On 9 November 2001, Navarro joined Tranmere Rovers on an initial two-month loan deal where he made two league appearances, scoring one goal.[2] Liverpool also allowed Navarro to compete in the FA Cup whilst at Tranmere.[3]

On 23 January 2002, Navarro joined Tranmere permanently on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[4] Whilst at Tranmere, Navarro was loaned out twice, first joining Chester City for a month on 20 August 2004[5] before completing a three-month spell at Macclesfield Town which began on 15 December 2004. Navarro made 11 loan appearances for the club and scored one goal.[2] On 12 May 2005, Navarro had his contract with Tranmere cancelled by mutual consent.[6]

On 12 September 2005, Navarro joined Conference National team Accrington Stanley on non-contract terms after a successful trial with the club.[7] However, after three substitute appearances for Accrington Navarro joined previous loan club Macclesfield on 11 October 2005 on a permanent transfer.[8]

On 1 August 2007, Navarro joined Milton Keynes Dons (MK Dons) on an initial one-year contract.[9] He signed a one-year contract extension at MK Dons on 11 December 2007.[10] After making 77 league appearances and scoring two goals over two seasons at Milton Keynes, Navarro was released from his contract on 19 May 2009.[11]

Navarro joined Brighton & Hove Albion on trial during the summer of 2009 with a view to earning a professional contract.[12] Navarro started during the 2–0 pre-season friendly victory over AFC Wimbledon[13] and was praised by manager Russell Slade for a good performance.[14] Navarro also started during the 2–0 pre-season friendly victory at Scunthorpe United[15] before signing a two-year contract with the League One club.[16]

In May 2011, Brighton announced that he would not be issued a new deal following the ending of his current contract, but would be invited back to pre-season training to prove he is worth a new contract after an injury-hit season. He earned a one-year contract, and featured in 33 league games during the 2011–12 season, scoring his first goal for Brighton in a 2–1 win against Leeds United at Elland Road in the 90th minute on 11 February 2012.[17] Navarro was released following the expiration of his contract at the end of April 2012.[18] In June 2012 Navarro signed for Swindon Town on a free transfer.[19]
