Quinten has been playing for the West Coast Eagles since 2002. Daneka (nee O’Brien) met Quinten while they were both in high school, because he went to school with her cousins at Aquinas College. However, her first impressions weren’t favourable – she thought he was “huge and hairy”, and would run away from him because she was scared. Quinten and Daneka were married in 2008, and the couple run a clothing business and own a farm together.
