Fran Navarro

Fran Navarro of SC Braga was born in Valencia, Spain on 3 February 1998 (age 28).

Fran Navarro, born on 3 February 1998 (age 28), is a Spanish striker with SC Braga. His market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Navarro’s strongest league season came at Gil Vicente in 2022–23, when he scored 17 goals in 34 appearances. That was the campaign which gave his career its clearest lift in Portugal: regular minutes, reliable output, and a role that suited him without much need for theatre.

At Braga in 2026–27, he has made 13 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice. That includes seven Liga Portugal appearances with one goal, and six Conference League qualifying appearances with one goal.

His career so far has been built in Portugal around centre-forward work rather than noise: a productive spell at Gil Vicente, followed by a place in Braga’s squad and a more measured scoring return there.

Across the 2026–27 campaign Navarro has made seven Liga Portugal appearances, starting twice and coming off the bench five times, and he has scored one league goal; he has also added one goal across six Conference League Qualifiers appearances – the appearance split suggests Braga is using him primarily as a bench option to provide late attacking impact rather than as an automatic starter.
