Quak missed the 2010 Asian Games as a result of the ban.

In December 2011, the FAS announced that Quak was to join the newly formed LionsXII for the 2012 Malaysia Super League.

National service commitments however meant that Quak failed to make a single appearance throughout the 2012 season.

He made his long-awaited debut against PKNS on 15 January.

After Geylang International and Matsumoto Yamaga signed a MOU, Quak together with fellow winger Shawal Anuar went on a one-week trial with the J2 side.
