Career

edit

Navas started his career in the ranks of Atlético de Rafaela.[1][2] He was an unused substitute in the club's final match of the 2016–17 Argentine Primera División against fellow relegated team Sarmiento, which preceded his professional debut arriving in Primera B Nacional on 18 February 2018 during a victory away to Ferro Carril Oeste.[1][3] Navas was selected three more times in the 2017–18 campaign.[1][4] Navas spent 2019–20 out on loan in Torneo Federal A with Sportivo Las Parejas.[1] Nine total appearances followed.[1]

In November 2020, 24-year old Navas decided to retire, due to alleged personal reasons and "lack of happiness" when playing, which led him to "hang up his boots."[5] However, in October 2021, Navas returned to the pitch, after signing with Argentine amateur club Estudiantes Unidos de Bariloche.[6]
