He participated in twenty-four games in his debut season with them as they won promotion to the 2016 Superettan.[1] On 11 November 2016, it was announced that Montiel had agreed to sign for Allsvenskan side IK Sirius on a three-year contract and would officially join on 1 January 2017.[3] He made his debut for IK Sirius in a Svenska Cupen match versus Arameisk-Syrianska IF and scored the fifth goal in a 0–5 win.[1] On 28 July, Montiel joined Superettan side Gefle IF on loan.[6] He scored his first Gefle goal in his second match, on 6 August, against IFK Värnamo.[1] In total, Montiel scored two goals in fourteen matches for Gefle as they finished 12th.[1]

He terminated his contract with Sirius in November 2017.[7] On 5 December, Montiel agreed to join Superettan club Örgryte IS.[8][9] In his opening six matches, Montiel scored five goals and assisted four.[1][10] He ended the 2018 campaign as top scorer, netting thirteen goals alongside fourteen assists in twenty-eight appearances.[1][11] He departed at the conclusion of his contract in December.[12] At the end of the month, Montiel secured a move to Beerschot Wilrijk of the Belgian First Division B.[13] In July 2019, Beerschot allowed Montiel to speak to a Swedish club with a view to a transfer.[14] Västerås SK revealed he was training with them on 8 July.[15]

On 15 July 2019, Vejle BK confirmed that they had signed Montiel on a two-year contract.[16] He scored twice, versus Nykøbing and Vendsyssel FF, in his first three appearances for Vejle BK.[1][17]
