Born in Manresa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Montes joined FC Barcelona's youth setup in 2008, from Club Gimnàstic Manresa.[1] On 27 July 2017, after finishing his formation, he joined Girona FC and was assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2]

Montes made his senior debut on 20 August 2017, starting in a 0–1 home loss against RCD Mallorca. His first goal came on 21 January of the following year, as he scored the opener in a 1–1 draw at Lleida Esportiu.

Montes made his professional debut on 31 October 2018; coming on as a second-half substitute for injured Douglas Luiz, he scored a last-minute equalizer in a 2–2 away draw against Deportivo Alavés, for the season's Copa del Rey.[3] It was his maiden appearance with the main squad during the campaign, which ended in relegation for both first and B-teams.

On 9 August 2019, Montes signed for Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in the third division.[4]
