This name uses Spanish naming customs: the first or paternal family name is Montañés and the second or maternal family name is Claverías.

Francisco 'Paco' Montañés Claverías (born 8 October 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Espanyol as a right winger.

Football career

Born in Castellón de la Plana, Castellón, Valencian Community, Montañés started his career in the youth ranks of FC Barcelona.[1] He made his debut for the first team on 13 May 2006, playing the last 20 minutes of a 2–3 away loss against Sevilla FC;[2] he then moved to the lower leagues, with Villarreal CF B and Ontinyent CF.

In August 2010 Montañés joined AD Alcorcón, promoted for the first time to the second division.[3] He rarely missed a game during his two-year spell as the club always retained its league status, and scored nine goals in his second season.

Montañés returned to La Liga with Real Zaragoza, signing a four-year contract on 5 July 2012.[4] He made his official debut on 20 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against Real Valladolid.[5]

Montañés scored his first goal in the main category of Spanish football on 10 November, netting his team's second in a 5–3 home win over Deportivo de La Coruña.[6] He started in all league matches during the campaign, as the Aragonese were relegated.

On 28 July 2014 Montañés returned to the top level, after agreeing to a four-year deal with RCD Espanyol.[7]

Personal life

In 2010, before he made his debuts in the top division and thinking this was not a possibility anymore, Montañés contemplated quitting football and becoming a fireman, as his father before him.[8] Nothing came of it eventually.
