Ángel Montoro Sánchez (born 25 June 1988) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Granada CF as a central midfielder.

Football career

A product of hometown Valencia CF's youth ranks, Montoro was born in Valencia. He made his first-team debut on 31 October 2007, playing ten minutes in a 1–5 La Liga home loss against Real Madrid as interim manager Óscar Fernández filled in for recently sacked Quique Sánchez Flores;[1] with Ronald Koeman's subsequent arrival and the January 2008 signing of Hedwiges Maduro and Éver Banega, he had to return to the B-team.

In the following two years, Montoro served as much loans (both in the second division), with Real Murcia[2] and newly promoted Real Unión.[3] Released by the Che in the 2012 summer, he continued competing in that level with Recreativo de Huelva.[4]

On 30 June 2015, Montoro signed for UD Almería also in division two.[5] On 26 January of the following year, he terminated his contract and joined UD Las Palmas in the top tier for 18 months.[6]

On 15 July 2017, free agent Montoro agreed to a three-year deal with Granada CF.[7]
