Club career

Barcelona and Mallorca

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Navarro came through the ranks of giants FC Barcelona. He was on the verge of replacing longtime left-back Sergi Barjuán who had left for Atlético Madrid in 2002, but a serious knee injury finished off his chances with his hometown club. On 3 November 2002, he scored his only goal for Barça and his first as a professional, in a 1–1 away draw against Racing de Santander. After an uneventful six-month loan at Albacete Balompié in 2004, also in La Liga, Navarro was loaned again, this time to RCD Mallorca (still in the top flight) for the 2005–06 season. After a successful campaign the Balearic Islands side decided to buy him outright, and he was an undisputed starter during his tenure.

Sevilla

Navarro joined Sevilla FC on 18 June 2008, for a reported €5 million. He was first-choice in his first two seasons as the Andalusians ranked respectively third and fourth, totalling 27 yellow cards in the process. In the following campaigns, with no real competitor in his position, Navarro continued to start for Sevilla. On 26 October 2011, he renewed his contract, due to expire in June 2013, for a further three years. The previous month, he was involved in an incident in a home fixture against Valencia CF: after opponent Aritz Aduriz stepped on Emir Spahić in the 70th minute, the latter's reaction was apparently exaggerated, but Navarro vehemently asked for a red card to Aduriz, which was conceded by the referee.
