Club career

Barcelona

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Quintillà joined FC Barcelona's youth setup in 2009, from hometown UE Lleida.[2] After finishing his graduation, he was promoted to the reserves in July 2015, after the club's relegation to Segunda División B.[3]

Quintillà made his senior debut on 22 August 2015, starting in a 1–2 loss at UE Cornellà.[4] On 26 August of the following year, after contributing with only eight league appearances, he was loaned to fellow third division side Lleida Esportiu for the campaign.[5]

On 1 September 2017, Quintillà terminated his contract with Barça.[6]

Villarreal

On 1 September 2017, just hours after leaving Barcelona, Quintillà joined Villarreal CF and was initially assigned to the B-team.[7] On 1 November of the following year, he made his first-team debut by starting in a 3–3 away draw against UD Almería, for the season's Copa del Rey.[8] On 30 March 2019 he made his La Liga debut, playing all but the final two minutes of a 3–2 loss at RC Celta de Vigo.[9]

Definitely promoted to the main squad for the 2019–20 season, Quintillà featured sparingly but still renewed his contract until 2023 on 25 February 2020.[10]

Norwich City (loan)

On 18 August 2020, Quintillà joined EFL Championship side Norwich City on loan.[11][12]

Personal life

Quintillà's older brother, Jordi, is also a footballer, who plays as a midfielder. Both were at Barcelona together.[13]
