Daniel 'Dani' Quintana Sosa (born 8 March 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Azerbaijani club Qarabağ FK as a left winger.
Football career
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Quintana only played lower league football in his country, representing Ontinyent CF, UD Alzira, Racing de Ferrol,[1] CD Olímpic de Xàtiva and Gimnàstic de Tarragona[2][3] in the third division. He appeared for UD Puçol, Valencia CF Mestalla and Huracán Valencia CF in the fourth level.
In the late hours of the January 2013 transfer window, Quintana signed with Poland's Jagiellonia Białystok[4] after a successful trial[5] and after terminating his contract with Nàstic,[6] in what was his first professional experience. He made his debut in the Ekstraklasa on 23 February against Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała,[7] and scored his first goal on 3 March in a 2–1 away win over Górnik Zabrze.[8]
On 29 September 2014, Quintana joined Al-Ahli SC (Jeddah).[9] He netted his first and only goal for the Saudi club on 18 October, helping to a 2–1 home success against Al-Nassr FC.
Quintana changed teams and countries again in March 2015, moving to the Azerbaijan Premier League after signing a three-year contract with Qarabağ FK.[10]
