in 2014 Navidkia began his career at
Sepahan in 1998. From 1998 to 2002 he played as the
defensive midfielder, while from 2002 and by the suggestion of
Farhad Kazemi his playing post has been changed to
attacking midfielder. He managed to attract attention during the
2002–03 Iran Premier League season while playing for a team many at first thought to be average, but they won the championship title at the end. He was selected the best player of
IPL for the
2003–04 season and was considered one of the best Iranian players despite his young age. Due to his potential talent, young age, and impressive performances, he was transferred to
VfL Bochum even though he was injured at the time of the signing. He was not able to recover his old form, and went back to Sepahan in 2006 on loan. After the
2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, Navidkia signed a contract with Sepahan again. He had difficulties with the injuries during his career in Sepahan and finally in the 2009–10 season he had his most stable season after a few years. He retired from football on 17 October 2016, after playing 16 years at Sepahan. ==International career==
