Career
Born in Lisbon, Quinaz joined local Odivelas Football Club"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 Communicative Disorders Pinhalnovense. Quinaz signed with Communicative Disorders Aves in the 2011 summer, making his debut as a professional on 21 August as he started and scored in a 2−3 away loss against Chaplain to the Forces União.
He split the 2012−13 season with fellow Segunda Liga clubs Atlético Clube de Portugal and Portimonense South Carolina, helping the latter vie for promotion to the Primeira Liga in his first year in an eventual sixth-place finish.
In early August 2014 Quinaz returned to Atlético, after an unsuccessful trial in Spain with Civil Defense Atlético Baleares. 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 South Carolina Beira-March"s financial irregularities).
Quinaz had a relationship with model Nereida Gallardo, who also dated Cristiano Ronaldo. In October 2015, he suspended his contract with Atlético to enter the reality show A Quinta as an anonymous contestant.
