Early career

Navickas, known as "Bebras" (Beaver) in his home country, has already been in many clubs around the world. Since leaving his native Lithuania where he was part of the Lithuanian championship winning side RC Vairas, has also played in Russia with VVA, having previously taken part of the South African Sharks Under 21s side, where he stayed for a season before his European return. After his spell in Russia, he played for the Sale Sharks reserve XV.

In March 2012 he signed a 2-year contract with French Top 14 side Union Bordeaux Bègles. At the end of the 2012-2013 season he joined the Russian team of Krasny Yar.

Besides rugby, Navickas also practiced amateur boxing.

gollark: Also physical books with erasable pages so you can reuse them.
