The athletic 23 year-old striker will probably be best known to supporters for his goalscoring exploits at our near neighbours Halesowen Town in 2019/20 before the season was curtailed with Montel netting 31 times in 46 league and cup appearances for the Yeltz.

Montel started out in the youth ranks at Highgate United before being signed by Notts County. He made his first team debut as a substitute against Hartlepool United in April 2016 and featured on a handful of occasions more after that.

Montel spent the 2016/17 campaign out on loan at various non-league clubs, enjoying stints at Romulus, Barwell, Hednesford Town and Sutton Coldfield.

After being released in the summer of 2017 Montel signed for Ilkeston Town before he moved closer to his Birmingham home by joining Redditch United in March 2018. He then switched to Bedworth United in November 2018 before linking up with Halesowen Town in July 2019.

His goalscoring prowess over the next eight months or so saw Halesowen in promotion contention in the Southern League Division One Central and the Yeltz also memorably reached the semi-finals of the FA Trophy before the pandemic brought an early end to the 2019/20 season.

Montel's exploits had not gone unnoticed though and in the summer of 2020 he was signed by Ian Holloway on a three-year deal for Grimsby Town. The Mariners endured a turbulent 2020/21 campaign, however, that ultimately saw them relegated back to the National League. Montel notched three times in 23 appearances in all competitions for the North East Lincolnshire outfit but later fell out of favour with new boss Paul Hurst after he was appointed as Holloway's successor in December 2020.

Montel joined Altrincham on loan in March 2021 and made a couple of appearances for the Robins before a knee injury cut his time short there.

Stour boss Mark Yates is delighted to have further boosted our attacking options with this loan signing and believes that we can give Montel the platform to showcase his undoubted talent and help move his playing career forward again.
