Born in Madrid to a Dominican father,[1] Quezada joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2006, after representing UD San Sebastián de los Reyes and DAV Santa Ana.

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]
