Club career

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Quintillà joined UE Lleida's youth setup in 1999, aged only six. In 2009 he moved to FC Barcelona's La Masia, and was promoted to the latter's reserve team in June 2012.[1]

On 10 January 2013 Quintillà was loaned to Segunda División B's CF Badalona, until June.[2] He made his senior debuts for the club, scoring his first goal on 24 February, in a 2–0 home win against Villarreal CF B.

On 26 August 2013 Quintillà moved to CE L'Hospitalet also in the third level, in a season-long loan deal.[3] On 25 July of the following year he signed a three-year deal with French Ligue 2 side AC Ajaccio, after the expiry of his contract with Barça.[4]

Quintillà made his professional debut on 29 August 2014, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Stade Lavallois.[5]

On 6 August 2015, Sporting Kansas City announced that they had signed Quintillà to play for their club.[6]

On 30 September 2015, Quintillà scored the winning penalty kick in the penalty kick shootout of the 2015 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Quintillà entered Sporting KC folklore by stepping up to take the final penalty kick despite the fact that Jacob Peterson was next on the list of penalty kick takers for KC.
