In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Quinton.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 41st of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Quinton is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Quinton carries the 41st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
