Francisco José Navarro Aliaga (Valencian pronunciation: [fɾən naˈvaro]; born 3 February 1998) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward for Primeira Liga club Gil Vicente.

Football career[]

Born in Valencia, Navarro moved as a youth across the city from Levante UD to Valencia CF, where he played mostly with the reserve team in Segunda División B. He had his sole call-up for the first team for their La Liga match at home to Villarreal CF on 26 January 2019, due to Kévin Gameiro's injury;[1] he did not leave the substitutes' bench in the 3–0 win.[2]

On 11 July 2019, Navarro was loaned to K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen of the Belgian First Division B for the upcoming season.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 26 September, in a 4–2 extra-time loss to Royal Antwerp F.C. in the seventh round of the national cup,[4] and netted his only league goal on 5 October in a 3–2 win at leaders OH Leuven.[5]

Navarro moved to Gil Vicente F.C. of Portugal's Primeira Liga on 26 June 2021, on a three-year contract.[6] On his league debut on 9 August, he scored twice in a 3–0 win over visitors Boavista FC.[7]
