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]
