Beginnings in Huelva
Born in Isla Cristina, Huelva (20/12/1993), Cayetano ‘Caye’ Quintana Hernández is a player who occupies the central part of the attack, who completed his early training in the ranks of RC Recreativo de Huelva.
Alternating between Huelva’s first team and the reserve team, including a spell on loan with Écija Balompié (2014), he made his way into the senior category between 2012 and 2015 after playing with the team from his hometown, Isla Cristina. He debuted in the Second Division with El Decano in the 14/15 season, scoring four goals in 19 league games.
Journey into the bronze division
Caye left Huelva and signed to Real Valladolid CF. With the ‘Pucelano’ reserve team, he scored seven goals in the 15/16 season in Segunda B, a division where he developed the majority of his youth career. In 16/17 he played for Real Racing Club de Santander and RCD Mallorca B, and joined FC Jumilla in the 17/18 season.
In 18/19 he returned to Recreativo, where he made the most of his scoring abilities. With Huelva he won the Group 4 title in Segunda B, having scored 16 goals, plus another two in the promotion playoffs to LaLiga SmartBank.
Cádiz and Fuenlabrada
Last season Caye Quintana was part of Cádiz CF during the first half of the 19/20 campaign, scoring a memorable goal against Málaga CF at La Rosaleda in the 1-2 victory for Cádiz on matchday 11 of the competition. For the second half of the season he was loaned out to CF Fuenlabrada, with the team one step away from the First Division promotion playoffs that his ownership team achieved with brilliance.
A very warm welcome to a new member of the Malaguista Family. Lots of luck, Caye!
