Born in Paços de Ferreira, Monteiro finished his youth career with local club S.C. Freamunde. His first season as a senior was 2013–14, when he helped to promotion to the Segunda Liga as champions. He made his debut in the competition on 9 August 2014 in a 1–0 home win against Atlético Clube de Portugal, and scored his first goal the following 11 January to open the 3–0 victory over C.D. Trofense also at the Campo do SC Freamunde.

Braga
Monteiro was recalled by S.C. Braga in January 2015, from Freamunde where he was serving a loan. Being initially assigned to the reserve team, he played mostly with them also in the second division; his first match occurred on 8 February, in a 2–3 home loss to G.D. Chaves where he featured the full 90 minutes.

Monteiro made three competitive appearances at the Estádio Municipal de Braga; his Primeira Liga bow took place on 30 January 2015, in the 1–0 home defeat of Moreirense FC. Whilst under contract, he also served loans at Apollon Limassol FC (where he won the Cypriot Cup under his compatriot Pedro Emanuel) and F.C. Paços de Ferreira.

Estoril
On 10 July 2017, Monteiro joined G.D. Estoril Praia on a three-year deal. He scored his only goal in the top flight on 14 August, in a 3–0 home win over Vitória de Guimarães; the campaign ended in relegation.

Later career
Monteiro subsequently competed in the Portuguese second tier, with Leixões SC, C.D. Feirense and Académico de Viseu FC. In the summer of 2022, he signed a contract with Georgian club FC Torpedo Kutaisi. In his debut season, he scored three times in four appearances as they won the Georgian Cup.
