Career
Saavedra started his career in 1996 with Toros Neza, where he reached a final. He was transferred to Tigres in 2000, and then played for Morelia for a short while in 2002, returning to Tigres in 2003, moving to Jaguares de Chiapas for a short period in 2006, until finally returning to Tigres in 2007.
He has reached 5 finals and has never won, two of those finals have been with Tigres and another two with Morelia.
He played for the Mexican national team during the administration of Manuel Lapuente.
Saavedra has been one of the best players even when the team is not playing good at all, Saavedra was bench at the start of the season this year, he didn't start any games until the fifth game and in his comeback game he got 2 assists and one goal defeating the team that has been marked as "the best in mexico" 3-2, since then he has started all games and now he has 4 assists in 4 games which makes him one of the most efficient players in the team and with him, the team has 7 points out of 12 possible, and before that the team only had 1 point out of 15. On May 2, 2009 Saavedra scored the game-winning goal against Cruz Azul, the goal saved Indios from relegating to the Primera División A.
On May 8, 2010 Javier's alleged bad luck in the finals was quashed as he won a bi-championship with Necaxa and helped it return to Mexico's First Division after a one-year absence by the team.
