Francisco 'Paco' Montañés Claverías (born 8 October 1986) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right winger.
Born in Castellón de la Plana, Castellón, Valencian Community, Montañés started his senior career in the reserve teams of FC Barcelona. [1] He made his debut for the first team on 13 May 2006, playing the last 20 minutes of a 3–2 away loss against Sevilla FC. [2] He then moved to the lower leagues, with Villarreal CF B and Ontinyent CF. [3]
In August 2010, Montañés joined AD Alcorcón, promoted for the first time to the Segunda División. [4] 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. [5]
Montañés returned to La Liga with Real Zaragoza, signing a four-year contract on 5 July 2012. [6] He made his official debut on 20 August, featuring the entire 0–1 home defeat to Real Valladolid. [7]
Montañés scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 10 November 2012, his team's second in the 5–3 home win over Deportivo de La Coruña. [8] He started in all league matches during the campaign, as the Aragonese were relegated.
On 28 July 2014, Montañés returned to the top tier after agreeing to a four-year deal with RCD Espanyol. [9] On 12 August 2016, he was loaned to Levante UD in a season-long deal. [10]
On 17 August 2017, free agent Montañés signed a two-year contract with division two side CD Tenerife. [11]
In 2010, before he made his debut 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. [12] Nothing came of it eventually.
