Marco Antonio Navas González (born 21 September 1982) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a right midfielder.
He amassed Segunda División totals of 127 matches and four goals over six seasons, representing five teams. In La Liga, he appeared for Sevilla.
Navas was born in Los Palacios y Villafranca, Province of Seville. A product of Sevilla FC's youth system, he made his debut for the first team in the 2003–04 season, playing three La Liga matches as a substitute;[1] [2] [3] he played mainly with the reserves during his spell, however.
In the 2005–06 campaign, Navas served a loan stint with another Andalusian side, Polideportivo Ejido (Segunda División), following which he lost all ties with Sevilla and joined neighbours Xerez CD.[4] For 2008–09 he was loaned to Albacete Balompié in the same league,[5] appearing regularly as they barely retained their league status; he was subsequently released by Xerez, moving down to the Segunda División B by joining CD Guadalajara.[6]
Navas continued to alternate between the second and third tiers the following years, with SD Huesca,[7] CD Leganés[8] and Recreativo de Huelva.[9] He spent the vast majority of his only season with the latter club on the sidelines, due to injury.[10]
On 16 August 2013, aged nearly 31, Navas moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Bury of the English League Two.[11] He debuted on 3 September against Port Vale in the Football League Trophy, only racking up three appearances before returning home the following 24 January by mutual consent.[12]
Navas' younger brother, Jesús, is also a footballer and a midfielder. He too represented, but with great individual and team success, Sevilla, and helped the Spain national team win the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012.[13]
Their family was of Gitano/Romani origin.[14]
