Club career
Born in Jamundí in the Valle del Cauca Department of Colombia, Quejada began his career with local academy Fútbol Paz. Having represented Grêmio's under-17 team in the Copa Santiago in January 2020, he signed a three-year contract with the Brazilian side in November of the same year.[2]
In January 2022, he joined São José on loan ahead of the Campeonato Gaúcho.[3] He scored his first and only goal for the club on 20 February, the second in an eventual 3–2 win against Internacional.[4]
Following his return to Grêmio, he was included in the first-team squad for the first time ahead of a Série B match against Chapecoense in April 2022.[5] He made his debut for the club in the 1–0 home loss on 15 April, before being subject to a loan approach from São José the following month, which was rejected by Grêmio.[6] He would go on to make one further appearance for the club, coming on as a substitute for Janderson in Grêmio's 5–0 win against Glória in the 2022 Recopa Gaúcha.[6]
In January 2023 he was linked with a move back to his native Colombia, with Unión Magdalena being touted as potential suitors for a loan deal.[7] However, later in the same month, he joined Argentine Primera División side Barracas Central on a loan deal.[8] In August 2023, following three appearances for the club, Barracas Central announced that Quejada had returned to Colombia.[9]
Having returned to Colombia, Quejada joined Categoría Primera B side Llaneros, and scored his first goal for the club on 5 August 2023, Llaneros' second goal in an eventual 4–3 comeback win against Leones.[10]
