Football career

Born in Rociana del Condado, Huelva, Andalusia, Naranjo graduated from local Recreativo de Huelva, and spent his first year as a senior with the B-team in Tercera División.

Naranjo also scored seven goals in a period of three months (between January and March 2016), including match-winners against CD Tenerife and Elche CF. On 1 May, he scored a brace in a 3–2 home win against Mirandés.[6]

In June 2016, Naranjo signed a five-year deal with La Liga club Celta de Vigo, for a rumoured fee of € 1 million.[7] He only appeared in three matches for the club, two in the UEFA Europa League, before departing.

In January 2017, Naranjo moved abroad for the first time in his career after agreeing to a contract with Belgian Pro League side K.R.C. Genk.[8] On 1 September, he returned to Spain and its first division after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with CD Leganés.[9]
