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 all 38 league matches during the campaign, as the Aragonese were relegated.[9]
On 28 July 2014, Montañés returned to the top tier after agreeing to a four-year deal with RCD Espanyol.[10] On 12 August 2016, he was loaned to Levante UD in a season-long deal.[11]
