Alberto Pérez Quintana (born 29 April 1996) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Gibraltar Football League club Europa as a central midfielder.

Club career[edit]

Born in Cádiz, Andalusia, Quintana was a Cádiz CF youth graduate. On 15 December 2014, shortly after making his senior debut with the reserves, he signed a contract extension with the club, running until 2018.[1]

On 17 May 2015, as the Yellow Submarine was already qualified to the play-offs, he made his first team debut by starting in a 0–3 away loss against Arroyo CP in the Segunda División B championship.[2] The following campaign, he contributed with 11 appearances as his side returned to Segunda División after six years.

Quintana made his professional debut on 19 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Migue in a 1–1 away draw against UD Almería.[3] Three days later, he was loaned to third-tier club FC Cartagena, in a season-long deal.[4]

After being sparingly used, Quintana was recalled by Cádiz and loaned back to CF Rayo Majadahonda on 28 December 2016, until the following June.[5] The following 17 August, he joined another reserve team, Atlético Levante UD in Tercera División.[6]
