In his country, he played professionally for Málaga B, Málaga, Gimnàstic and Racing de Santander, amassing La Liga totals of 106 matches and six goals over five seasons. In 2009 he signed for Rubin Kazan, remaining in the Russian Premier League until his retirement.
Club career
Born in Móstoles, Community of Madrid, Navas was brought through the ranks of hometown's Real Madrid, but only played with its B team. He made his La Liga debut in the 2004–05 season, going on to spend two years in the competition with Málaga CF; his first match was on 12 December 2004, as he featured the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Levante UD.[1]
Navas left Málaga and the Segunda División in January 2007, joining top-flight strugglers (eventually relegated) Gimnàstic de Tarragona. After his return to Andalusia he had a trial with English club Ipswich Town, but the deal fell through due to a metatarsal injury;[2] he subsequently moved to Racing de Santander also in the top tier, signing for two years.[3]
A habitual starter throughout the first half of the 2008–09 campaign, Navas was sold in late February 2009 to Russia's FC Rubin Kazan, on a three-year deal worth €2 million.[4][5] He appeared in 28 games in his first year, as the team renewed their Russian Premier League supremacy.
On 12 July 2015, Navas signed a one-year contract with FC Rostov,[6] agreeing to an extension one year later.[7] In June 2017, he left the Olimp-2.[8]
On 31 August 2017, Rubin Kazan announced the return of Navas.[9] On 14 February 2019, the 39-year-old announced his retirement.[10]
