edit

The Queen of the South website confirmed on 18 June 2011 that Quinn had left and signed for Ross County.[54]

He made his debut for the club, starting a match and played 74 minutes before being substituted, in a 5–1 loss against Hamilton Academical on 14 August 2011.[55] Since joining Ross County, Quinn became a first team regular, playing in the midfield position.[56] At times, however, he found himself placed on the substitute bench, due to competitions.[57] On 15 October 2011, Quinn scored his first goal for the club, and set up the equalising goal, in a 2–1 win against Dundee.[58] After missing two matches, he returned to the first team, coming on as a 42nd-minute substitute, in a 1–0 win against Partick Thistle on 5 November 2011.[59] On 3 December 2011, Quinn scored his second goal for Ross County, in a 4–2 win against Raith Rovers.[60] On 17 March 2012, he scored his third goal for the club, in a 2–1 win against Falkirk.[61] However, in a match against Dundee on 14 April 2012, Quinn received a red card for a second bookable offence, in a 3–0 win.[62] After serving a one match suspension, he returned to the first team, coming on as a 82nd-minute substitute, against Hamilton Academical on 28 April 2012, and helped Ross County win 5–1 to seal Scottish First Division by a record margin of 24 points and promotion to the Scottish Premier League for the first time in the club's history.[63] At the end of the 2011–12 season, Quinn made thirty–two appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

In the 2012–13 season, Quinn remained at Ross County for another season.[64] Having missed the first two league matches of the season, he made his first appearance of the season, in a 1–1 draw against Celtic on 19 August 2012.[65] Since returning to the first team, Quinn became a first team regular, playing in the midfield position.[66] He scored twice for the club, in a 5–4 loss against St Mirren on 29 September 2012.[67] After serving a one match suspension, Quinn returned to the starting line–up, in a 2–1 loss against Dundee United on 24 November 2012.[68] He scored on 1 December 2012 and 8 December 2012 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Motherwell (twice) respectively.[69] Since returning from suspension, Quinn continued to retain his place in the first team, playing in the midfield position.[70] On 2 February 2013, he scored his sixth goal of the season and set up the equalising goal in the last minute of the game, in a 2–2 draw against Hearts.[71] However, by May, Quinn suffered a broken nose that saw him out of the 2012–13 season.[72] Despite this, teammate Michael Fraser praised Quinn, saying: "Rocco Quinn has been my man of the season. A lot of players have been different class, but I think Rocco has been wonderfully consistent. He is an unsung hero and quite a quiet guy, but he has scored some cracking goals and he can play."[73] After helping the club to a fifth-place finish in 2012–13 season, Quinn made thirty–three appearances and scoring six times in all competitions. On 22 May 2013, he signed a new contract.[74]

At the start of the 2013–14 season, Quinn continued to regain his first team place, playing in the midfield position.[75] However, his form soon dropped badly, due to Ross County's poor results, a mistake he acknowledged.[76] On 15 September 2013, Quinn scored his first goal of the season, in a 4–2 loss against Dundee United.[77] On 5 October 2013, he scored the only goal of the game, in a 1–0 win against Aberdeen.[78] Quinn's poor form at the club continued that he saw his playing time coming from the substitute bench.[79] In the January transfer window, manager Derek Adams denied the transfer move of Quinn's move to English club, Swindon Town.[80] Despite this, he helped Ross County avoid relegation and maintained their league status.[81] At the end of the 2013–14 season, Quinn made thirty–one appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

At the start of the 2014–15 season, Quinn regained his first team place, playing in the midfield position.[82] He captained Ross County for the first time and played the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against Motherwell on 13 September 2014.[83] After the match, manager Jim McIntyre praised Quinn, saying: "Rocco has good experience. He's a talker on the park. That was the reason he was in the team. I wouldn't have picked him as captain if I didn't think he was up to the job. I thought he did particularly well on Saturday. But it would be wrong to just single Rocco out because he was named as captain."[84] Quinn set up a goal for Yoann Arquin, in a 1–1 draw against local rivals, Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 5 October 2014.[85] During the match, he suffered a hip injury and was substituted in the 49th minute.[85][86] After the match, it was announced that Quinn would be out for several months.[87] By March, he made his return to full training.[88] He played his first match since returning from injury, playing for club's development team for 30 minutes against Celtic's development team on 6 March 2015, losing 2–0.[89] On 25 April 2015, Quinn returned to the first team, coming on as a 57th-minute substitute, in a 2–1 loss against Partick Thistle.[90] He, once again, helped Ross County avoid relegation and maintained their league status after beating Hamilton Academical on 16 May 2015.[91] On the last game of the season against Kilmarnock, Quinn scored the winning goal, in a 2–1 win to help the club finish ninth place.[92] At the end of the 2014–15 season, he made sixteen appearances and scoring once in all competitions. Shortly after, Quinn signed a contract extension with Ross County for another season.[93]

At the start of the 2015–16 season, Quinn appeared in the first eight games of the season, rotating in and out of the starting line–up.[94] However, he suffered a hamstring injury during a 1–1 draw against Motherwell on 12 September 2015 and was out for six weeks.[95] Having returned to full training from his injury, Quinn remained out of the first team for a month.[96] On 26 December 2015, he made his return from injury, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute, in a 5–2 win against Dundee.[97] By the time Quinn left Ross County, he made twelve appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
