Club career

Portugal

Born in Porto, Monteiro played youth football with local FC Porto, having joined its youth system at the age of 8. Until his release on 30 June 2010, he was consecutively loaned to G.D. Ribeirão, C.F. Estrela da Amadora, S.C. Covilhã (twice) and Portimonense SC.

In summer 2011, after one season in his country's Segunda Liga with C.D. Santa Clara, Monteiro signed with AEL Limassol from the Cypriot First Division. In his first year, he contributed with two goals in 26 games to help his team win the national championship after a 44-year wait.[2]

Monteiro scored a career-best 18 goals in the 2013–14 campaign, topping the goal charts as the side ranked second after eventual winners APOEL FC.[3] During his three-year tenure, he netted 26 times from 105 appearances all competitions comprised, and also reached the final of the domestic cup twice.

Later years

Monteiro returned to his country and its top level for 2014–15, joining Moreirense F.C. on a two-year contract.[4] In January 2015, however, he moved back to Cyprus' with AEK Larnaca FC, going on to score ten official goals over a 12-month period.
