In the late hours of the January 2013 transfer window, Quintana signed with Poland's Jagiellonia Białystok[5] after a successful trial[6] and after terminating his contract with Nàstic,[7] in what was his first professional experience.[8] He made his debut in the Ekstraklasa on 23 February against Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała,[9] and scored his first goal on 3 March in a 2–1 away win over Górnik Zabrze.[10]

On 29 September 2014, Quintana joined Al Ahli Saudi FC.[11] He netted his first and only goal for the Saudi club on 18 October, helping to a 2–1 home defeat of Al Nassr FC.

Quintana changed teams and countries again in March 2015, moving to the Azerbaijan Premier League after signing a three-year contract with Qarabağ FK.[12] On 17 June 2018, the 31-year-old renewed his link until 2020.[13]

On 3 February 2020, Quintana signed with China League One side Chengdu Better City FC.[14]
