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]
