[edit] Club career
[edit] Sheffield United
Quinn is a footballer who started his footballing career with St Patrick's Athletic in the League of Ireland making his début in a 2–1 loss to Shamrock Rovers in April 2004.
He signed for Sheffield United in 2005, and made his first team début for the Blades in a League Cup win at Shrewsbury Town on 20 September 2005.[2]
Quinn spent some of the 2005–06 season on loan with Milton Keynes Dons[3] and Rotherham United respectively,[4] becoming a fan favourite at The Millers where his performances helped them to avoid relegation.
Quinn made his Premiership début for The Blades against Charlton Athletic, and could almost scored within the first 40 seconds of the game.[5] In his second appearance, a match against Aston Villa at Bramall Lane, he did score his first goal for the club.[6] Quinn ended the season by winning the young player of the season award and was rewarded with a new contract.
Sheffield United warded off interest allegedly from numerous Championship clubs during the Summer 2011 transfer window, with Quinn being made aware of an offer - rejected by Sheffield United - from Blackpool (who also signed Daniel Bogdanovic) by his agent.[7]
