Julián Andrés Quiñones Quiñones (born 24 March 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah. Born in Colombia, he represents the Mexico national team.[3]
Club career
Early Career
Quiñones commenced his career at Futbol Paz, an amateur football club located in Cali, Colombia. In the 2014-2015 season, he netted 50 goals across 38 matches, prompting Tigres UANL to recruit him for their U-20 team.[4]
In the Clausura 2016 tournament, Quiñones was sent on loan to Venados, an Ascenso MX club. He made his professional debut on 19 January 2016, scoring twice against Cruz Azul.
On 7 June 2017, Quiñones joined Lobos BUAP on a one-year loan. In the Apertura 2017, he emerged as the third-highest scorer, finishing with nine goals. His impressive performance carried over into the Clausura 2018, where he scored another eight goals.
In the summer of 2018, Quiñones rejoined Tigres UANL. Despite his stellar form with Lobos BUAP, head coach Ricardo Ferretti relegated him to a secondary role.
Atlas
On 16 June 2021, Quiñones joined Atlas on a one-year loan.[5] Six months later, the move became permanent after Atlas acquired the player.[6] Quiñones won back-to-back league titles with Atlas, ending a 70-year drought for the club.
América
On 3 July 2023, Club América reached an agreement with Atlas to sign Quiñones.[7]
Al Qadsiah
On 20 June 2024, Quiñones joined Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah on a four-year contract.[8][9]
International career
Colombia
Quiñones represented Colombia in youth competitions, first at the 2017 South American U-20 Championship and then at the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games. However, in May 2023, he opted not to accept a call-up to the Colombia national team.[10][11]
Mexico
On 3 September 2023, Quiñones received an invitation to train with the Mexico national team. He had previously indicated his interest in playing for Mexico.[12] On 11 October, Quiñones completed his naturalization process.[13] On 9 November, he received his first call-up.[14] Quiñones made his debut in a CONCACAF Nations League match against Honduras on 17 November.[15] He scored his first goal on 21 March 2024 in a semi-final match of the CONCACAF Nations League against Panama, scoring the 2nd goal of the game in the 43rd minute. Mexico went on to win the match 3-0.
