Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Quintillà joined UE Lleida's youth setup in 1999, aged only six. In 2009 he moved to FC Barcelona's La Masia, and was promoted to the latter's reserve team in June 2012.[1]

On 26 August 2013 Quintillà moved to CE L'Hospitalet also in the third level, in a season-long loan deal.[3] On 25 July of the following year he signed a three-year deal with French Ligue 2 side AC Ajaccio, after the expiry of his contract with Barça.[4]

Quintillà made his professional debut on 29 August 2014, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Stade Lavallois.[5]

On 6 August 2015, Sporting Kansas City announced that they had signed Quintillà to play for their club. In the final of the US Open he scored the game winning penalty kick against Philadelphia Union.[6] He was released by Sporting Kansas City on 23 June 2016.[7]
