Franco Nicolás Quiroz (born 11 March 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Atlético de Rafaela.[1]

Career

[edit]

Quiroz began playing at an early age for the youth of Monseñor Rösch, who preceded spells in the academies of Wanderers de Concordia, where he made his senior bow as a fifteen-year-old, and Colón.[3][4] In his senior career with Colón, he was an unused substitute on six occasions for the club in 2017 and 2018 - four of which came in Primera División matches while the other two occurred in the Copa Sudamericana in mid-2018 for ties with São Paulo and Atlético Junior.[1][5] His professional bow eventually arrived on 28 January 2019, with the defender completing the full ninety minutes of a 2–0 victory over Argentinos Juniors.[1][6]

After nine appearances for Colón, Quiroz departed on loan in January 2020 to Primera B Nacional's Agropecuario.[7] He didn't make an appearance in the second tier, before returning to his parent club in June.[8] In October 2020, Quiroz terminated his contract with Colón and soon moved to Paraguayan Primera División club General Díaz.[9] He debuted in a 4–3 home defeat to Libertad on 11 November, featuring for fifty-six minutes before being replaced by Diego Doldán.[1]

On 1 March 2021, Quiroz returned to his homeland and joined San Telmo.[10] In January 2022, Quiroz joined San Martín de Tucumán on a loan deal until the end of 2023 with a purchase option.[11] In January 2023, Quiroz joined Chacarita Juniors on a one-year deal.[12] Ahead of the 2024 season, Quiroz joined Atlético de Rafaela.[13]
