Club career

Born in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia, Querol finished his development at CF Reus Deportiu. He made his senior debut in the 2008–09 season, in Tercera División; in 2010–11 he scored a career-best 13 goals, helping his team return to Segunda División B.[1][2]

On 27 April 2011, Querol agreed to a two-year contract with Real Betis, with the deal being made effective in June.[3] He was assigned to the reserves who competed in the third level, but missed his debut campaign due to injury.[4][1]

On 7 July 2013, Querol joined fellow league club Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[5] He featured regularly during his spell – albeit mostly as a substitute – as the side finished fourth in the regular season and fell short in the promotion play-offs.

On 14 July 2014, Querol signed a two-year deal with UE Llagostera, newly promoted to Segunda División.[6] He made his debut as a professional on 23 August, aged 25, starting in a 0–2 away loss against UD Las Palmas.[7]

Querol scored his first professional goal on 18 January 2015, netting the last in a 2–0 home win over Real Valladolid.[8] On 4 June of the following year, with his team already relegated, he netted four times in a 6–2 home rout of Real Zaragoza, taking his tally up to nine.[9]

On 9 July 2016, Querol returned to Reus, now in the second level.[10] In January 2019, he terminated his contract due to the club's poor financial situation overall.[11]

On 30 January 2019, free agent Querol agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract at Cádiz CF.[12] Exactly one year later, he was loaned to fellow second division side Albacete Balompié for the remainder of the season.[13]
