He produced roughly the same numbers in the following campaign, but did not find the net and the Sorians were relegated; his debut in the Spanish top flight came on 14 September 2008, in a 3–4 loss away loss against Real Madrid.

During season 2020–21, Quero retired from football after had been diagnostic with a heart arrhythmia.
