Football career

Born in La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz, Quillo joined Atlético Madrid's youth system in 2000, aged 13. After one game in the 2006–07 season with the B-team, he went on to appear a further two full seasons for the reserves, also in the third division. In the 2007–08 edition of the Copa del Rey he played his first official game with the main squad (in a total of two), a 2–1 away win against Granada 74 CF.[1]

In late August 2009, Quillo joined La Liga club UD Almería.[2] His input in the competition consisted of 15 minutes in a 2–3 home loss against Sevilla FC in the campaign's last round,[3] finishing his spell with three official matches.

On 2 July 2010, Quillo signed a two-year contract with Recreativo de Huelva in the second level,[4] remaining in his native Andalusia.
