Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Bella Unión, Quintana began his career with Atlético Cañero,[1] before representing hometown side Deportivo Tropezón Tablero.[2] In 2014, he joined the youth academy of Primera División team Peñarol.[3]

Peñarol

[edit]

In September 2015, Quintana was promoted to the first team after Gonzalo Viera left the club.[4] In June 2016, Quintana signed his first professional contract with Peñarol.[5]

Quintana appeared for Peñarol's first team for the first time on 16 August 2016, on the bench in their Copa Sudamericana match against Sportivo Luqueño.[6] He made his competitive debut for the club on 3 September, coming on as a 52nd-minute substitute for Bressan in a 2–0 Primera División home win over Fénix.[7]

During the 2017 season, Quintana played 22 matches for Peñarol as he helped lead the club to a league title.[8] He scored his first goal for the club on 10 June 2017 in a 4–1 victory over Rampla Juniors.[9] The following week on 18 June, Quintana scored the winning goal for Peñarol in a 2–1 victory over El Tanque Sisley.[10]

Loan spells

[edit]

On 17 January 2018, MLS side the San Jose Earthquakes announced that they had signed Quintana to a one-year loan, with an option to buy.[11] He stated after his arrival in San Jose that he hoped the team would decide to keep him at the season's end.[12]

Quintana made his MLS debut on 3 March 2018, in San Jose's season-opening 3-2 victory over Minnesota United. However, he was substituted in the 54th minute after suffering an injury.[13] He scored his first MLS goal against New York City in a 2–1 loss on 31 March.[14]

On 14 February 2019, Quintana was loaned out again, this time to Cerro Largo for the rest of the year.[15] He made 26 appearances for the team and scored one goal. Returning to Peñarol in the beginning of 2020, he was loaned out for the third time, to Danubio.

On 29 September 2020, Quintana moved to Spanish Segunda División B club Racing de Ferrol on loan until 30 June 2021.[16] His loan was later renewed for the 2021–22 season, with the club in the newly-created Primera División RFEF.[17]

Defensor Sporting

[edit]

On 17 July 2022, Quintana returned to his home country after being announced at Defensor Sporting.[18] Rarely used in his first season, he featured more regularly in the 2023 campaign.

Portuguesa

[edit]

On 21 December 2023, Quintana was announced at Portuguesa for the 2024 season.[19]
