Football career
A product of hometown Valencia CF's youth ranks, Montoro was born in Valencia. He made his first-team debuts on 31 October 2007, playing ten minutes in a 1–5 La Liga home loss against Real Madrid, with Óscar Fernández as interim manager filling in for recently sacked Quique Sánchez Flores;[1] with Ronald Koeman's subsequent arrival and the January 2008 signing of Hedwiges Maduro and Éver Banega, he had to return to the B-team.
In the following two years Montoro served as much loans, both in the second division, with Real Murcia[2] and newly promoted Real Unión.[3] Released by the Che in the 2012 summer he continued competing in that level, with Recreativo de Huelva.[4]
On 30 June 2015 Montoro signed for UD Almería, also in division two.[5] On 26 January of the following year, he terminated his contract and joined UD Las Palmas in the top tier for 18 months.[6]
