Club career

Born in Lisbon, Quinaz joined local Odivelas FC's youth system at the age of 9. He competed in the lower leagues until the age of 26, also representing Clube Atlético Pêro Pinheiro, Atlético Clube do Cacém and C.D. Pinhalnovense.

Quinaz signed with C.D. Aves in summer 2011, making his debut as a professional on 21 August as he started and scored in a 2−3 away loss against C.F. União.[1] He split the 2012−13 season with fellow Segunda Liga clubs Atlético Clube de Portugal[2] and Portimonense SC,[3] helping the latter vie for promotion to the Primeira Liga in his first year in an eventual sixth-place finish.[4]

In early August 2014, Quinaz returned to Atlético after an unsuccessful trial in Spain with CD Atlético Baleares.[5] He scored six goals in 32 games in the first year in his second spell, but the campaign ended in relegation from the second level (later avoided due to S.C. Beira-Mar's financial irregularities).

Personal life

Quinaz had a relationship with model Nereida Gallardo, who also dated Cristiano Ronaldo.[6][7] In October 2015, he suspended his contract with Atlético to enter the reality show A Quinta as an anonymous contestant.[8]

gollark: Also, please stop accusing me of writing 11, people, it's actually quite bad.
gollark: Oh, neat.
gollark: Regarding 14, do you REALLY think I would use LOW-LEVEL things like bitops?
gollark: I'm sure you'd like to think so.
