Player Profile:

Midfielder Montel was a youngster at Chelsea before moving to Leyton Orient after not being offered a scholarship. He made his first-team debut for the Os as a sub in a 3-0 win at Yeovil Town in League One on 29.12.14.

In February 2015, Montel went on a work experience loan to Southern League club Royston Town. He spent a similar spell at Isthmian Premier side Grays Athletic in October 2015.

After spells at Fisher and Maldon & Tiptree, he joined East Thurrock United of National League South prior to the 2016-17 season.

In May 2018, Montel signed for Wealdstone and joined Welling United in November 2018.

In June 2021, he signed for Margate. Manager Jay Saunders told Kent Online: “Montel is a technically gifted central midfielder who enhances the squad we’re building a great deal.”

He scored in the 5-2 Thanet Cup win at Ramsgate on 31.7.21. Montel was an important part of the Margate team in 2021-22. He made 53 appearances (including four as sub) and scored two goals – in a 4-1 defeat at Merstham in the FA Cup on 18.9.21 and in a 4-2 win at home to Worthing on 14.12.21. 

In June 2022, Montel joined Billericay Town following their relegation from National League South but returned to Margate a year later.

Montel broke his tibia in a 2-1 home defeat to Cheshunt on 25.8.23 and was ruled out for the rest of the season. He had made just four appearances in 2023-24. A benefit match was held for him at Hartsdown in October 2023 against SE Dons.

Montel finally returned to playing when he joined Horsham in August 2024.
