Quezada scored his first senior goal on 12 February 2017, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home defeat of CF Fuenlabrada.[3] He made his first team debut on 28 November, replacing fellow debutant Óscar Rodríguez in a 2–2 home draw against the same team, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4]

On 17 August 2018, Quezada was loaned to Segunda División side Córdoba CF for the campaign.[5] On 2 September of the following year, he signed a permanent two-year deal with fellow league team Cádiz CF.[6][7]

In February 2022, Quezada joined Uzbekistani club Surkhon Termez, scouted by Spanish coach Ángel Lopez.[8]

On 8 January 2023, Quezada officially signed with J2 club, Tokushima Vortis for upcoming 2023 season.[9]
