Early Career

[edit]

Quiñones commenced his professional journey at Futbol Paz, an amateur football club located in Cali, Colombia. In the 2014-2015 season, he netted 50 goals across 38 matches, prompting Tigres UANL to recruit him for their U-20 team.[4] In January 2016, he was loaned to Ascenso MX club Venados.

Quiñones spent the Apertura 2017 on loan at Lobos BUAP. He finished as the tournament's third-highest scorer with nine goals. In the Clausura 2018, Quiñones would once again be the top goal scorer for Lobos BUAP, scoring eight goals.

In the summer of 2018, Quiñones rejoined Tigres UANL. Despite his stellar form with Lobos BUAP, head coach Ricardo Ferretti relegated him to a secondary role.

Atlas

[edit]

On 16 June 2021, Quiñones joined Atlas on a one-year loan.[5] Six months later, the move became permanent after Atlas acquired the player.[6] Quiñones won back-to-back league titles with Atlas, ending a 70-year drought for the club.

On 3 July 2023, Club América reached an agreement with Atlas to sign Quiñones.[7]

Al Qadsiah

Mexico

[edit]

On 3 September 2023, Quiñones received an invitation to train with the Mexico national team.

Mexico went on to win the match 3-0.
