He came back to LEB Oro for playing with Sant Josep Girona, before coming back to the top tier with Valencia Basket in February 2011.[1]
In 2013, Navarro agreed terms with River Andorra, where he became captain of the club after several years in the team of the Principality. In his first season, Andorra conquered the title of the 2012–13 LEB Oro season.[2]
On June 28, 2017, Navarro signed a two-year contract with Obradoiro CAB.[3]
