Naylor started his career with First Division side Wolverhampton Wanderers, joining the club in 1996. He made his debut the following year and soon established himself as the first choice left back.

Naylor moved to Scottish Premier League side Celtic in 2006 for a fee of £600,000 plus Charlie Mulgrew.

During his time at Celtic Naylor won the Scottish Premier League twice in 2007 and 2008 as well as the Scottish Cup in 2007.
