Career
Born in Manchester, Greater Manchester, Montrose started his career with the Manchester City youth system before joining Wigan Athletic in their youth system.[2] He made his Wigan Athletic debut, as a substitute, in a 2–0 League Cup defeat against Crewe Alexandra on 19 September 2006.[3] He signed a professional contract with Wigan on 5 July 2007.[1]
On 27 March 2008, he was loaned out to League Two side Rochdale, although injury ended his spell at the club before he made a single competitive appearance.[4][5][6]
On 24 September 2008, Montrose was loaned out to League One club 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 2008.[7] Only a couple of months later, on 6 January 2009, Montrose returned to Cheltenham on another one-month loan.[8] On 26 February 2009, Montrose joined League Two side Chesterfield for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[9]
On 25 June 2009, Montrose was signed on a free transfer by Wycombe Wanderers of League One on a two-year contract.[10] Wycombe were relegated to League Two in his first season at the club, in which he made 15 appearances.[11] He was released on 11 May 2011 having made 40 appearances and scored four goals in the 2010–11 season, after Wycombe won promotion back to League One through finishing in third place in League Two.[12][13]
He joined League Two club Gillingham on 1 July 2011,[14] and made a goalscoring debut 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.
In January 2013 he joined League Two rivals Oxford on loan until the end of the 2012–13 season.[15] Montrose made his debut in a 2–1 away win at Bradford City on 12 January 2013, before finishing the loan with five appearances for Oxford.[16] Prior to this loan he had made 18 appearances for Gillingham, as they went on to win the League Two title.[16]
Montrose signed for League Two club York City on a two-year contract on 28 June 2013.[17] He made his debut as a 67th minute substitute for Tom Platt in a 4–0 home defeat to Burnley in the first round of the League Cup on 6 August 2013.[18]
