Early life
Born in Cali, Colombia, Montaño moved to London as a child and holds nationality of both Colombia and the United Kingdom.[4][5] He has pledged any future international career to Colombia and models himself on Faustino Asprilla.[6]
Football career
West Ham United
Montaño joined West Ham as an under-12 player, signing his first professional contract in June 2010.[4] Montano had several loan spells during the 2011–12 season but did not feature in the first team for West Ham.[7]
In August 2011, he signed a one-month loan deal with Notts County,[8] making his debut on 9 August in a League Cup game against Nottingham Forest, which Notts County lost on penalties after the game had finished 3–3.[9][10] He made his league debut and scored his first goal for Notts County on 13 August in a 2–1 home defeat to Charlton Athletic.[11] His loan with Notts County was extended until 9 October,[12] after which he returned to West Ham.[13]
Soon after leaving Notts County, Montaño signed a one-month loan deal with Swindon Town,[14] making his debut for Swindon on 15 October, scoring the second goal in a 2–0 away win against Accrington Stanley.[15] His loan was cut short in November and he returned to West Ham having scored one goal in four appearances.[16] Montaño then signed a one-month loan deal with Dagenham & Redbridge,[17] scoring on his debut on 19 November in a 3–2 home defeat to Southend United.[18] The Daggers extended Montaño's loan for a further month on 20 December.[19]
Montaño again joined Notts County on loan in February 2012.[20] His loan was not extended and he returned to West Ham in March.[21] On 16 March, Montaño joined Oxford United on loan as a replacement for ex-loanee Lee Holmes.[22] His first goal for Oxford came on 7 April in a 2–1 away defeat to Northampton Town.[23]
Oldham Athletic
In August 2012, Montaño signed a two-year contract with Oldham Athletic, with the option of a third year, for an undisclosed fee.[24] He scored three goals in 40 league appearances for Oldham,[7] but was sacked by the club in December 2013 on the grounds of gross misconduct relating to alleged spot-fixing.[25] In November 2014, having been released from bail but with investigation still ongoing by the National Crime Agency, Montaño announced his intention to sue Oldham Athletic following his dismissal.[26] The charges were later dropped.[27][28]
América de Cali
Following his dismissal by Oldham Athletic, Montaño was playing for América de Cali in his homeland of Colombia.[29]
Bristol Rovers
Montano joined Bristol Rovers in July 2015 with manager, Darrell Clarke, saying: "He comes with quite a lot of baggage. I know that he is desperate for another opportunity to play league football and I'm a firm believer in giving everyone a second chance".[30]O
Personal life
In December 2013, Montaño was charged with the rape of a woman in Romford, London.[31] He appeared in court in March 2014.[32] No verdict was returned by the jury and the case was dropped by the prosecution.[33][34]
