Lewis Robert Egerton Montrose (born 17 November 1988 in Manchester, England) is an English footballer who plays for Gillingham. He plays as a midfielder.
He made his Wigan debut, as a substitute, in a 2–0 League Cup defeat against Crewe Alexandra on 19 September 2006. On 27 March 2008, Montrose was loaned out to League Two promotion-chasers Rochdale, until the end of the season. However injury ended his spell at the club before he made a single competitive appearance.[2]
On 24 September, Montrose was loaned out to Cheltenham Town on a one month deal. Montrose said of the move "I am hoping to be in contention for the first team, and to gain some vital experience. Martin Allen is a good manager and I'm hoping I can get some playing time under my belt". Montrose scored his first goal for Cheltenham in their first round FA Cup replay victory at Oldham Athletic on 18 November.[3] Only a couple of months later on 6 January 2009, Montrose returned to Cheltenham on another one month loan.[4] On 26 February, Montrose joined League Two side Chesterfield for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[5]
In June 2009, Montrose was signed on a free transfer by Wycombe Wanderers of League One.[6] He suffered relegation in first season at the club. He was released on 11 May 2011 after only making 50 league appearances in two years, after Wycombe won promotion back to League One.
He joined Gillingham in July 2011,[7] and made a goalscoring début in the 1-0 win over Cheltenham Town on 6 August 2011. He also scored the winning goal for Gillingham in their 1-0 home win over Oxford United on 22 October 2011 but was sent off in the same match in the 88th minute for a dangerous tackle on Asa Hall.
