It is valid in English to use quitted in this manner, but it does look and sound odd. Most dictionaries list quitted as an alternative simple past/past participle of to quit, but admittedly it's uncommon to see it in modern English. Usually quitted is used in the sense departed or left (following French usage), which, while perhaps archaic, is perfectly valid in English as well.
