Early and personal life
Born in Sunderland,[2] his grandfather was a cousin of footballer Jimmy Montgomery.[3]
Career
Montgomery began his career playing youth football for Middlesbrough.[3] He then played in non-league with Guiseley, before attending the Nike Football Academy and signing with AFC Telford United in 2015.[4] While with Telford he also began training with Sunderland (in July 2016),[4] and with the V9 Academy (in November 2016).[5] He moved to Gateshead in January 2017.[6] Montgomery signed a two-year contract with Forest Green Rovers in May 2018.[3] He made his professional debut on 14 August 2018, in the EFL Cup.[7] During a match against Mansfield Town in January 2019, Montgomery collided with opposition player Gethin Jones, resulting in a cut lip and lost teeth. Montgomery was substituted by Lewis Ward.[8]
In July 2019, Montgomery joined AFC Fylde on a two-year deal.[9][10] He was released by the club in August 2020.[11]
He returned to Gateshead in October 2020.[12]
On 2 March 2021, Montgomery joined League Two side Southend United on an emergency seven-day loan following an injury to fellow goalkeeper Alex Bass.[13] On 9 March 2021, the loan was extended for a further seven days.[14]
On 15 April 2021, Montgomery joined National League side Chesterfield on a short-term deal.[15] Montgomery's contract was not extended at the end of the season.[16]
On 17 March 2022, Montgomery returned to former club Gateshead on a short-term contract. This would be his third spell at the National League North club.[17] He played for Gateshead in the 2023 FA Trophy final defeat to FC Halifax Town at Wembley Stadium.[18]
On 12 June 2023, Montgomery signed for National League North club Spennymoor Town[19] having departed Gateshead in search of more regular first-team football as well as allowing him to devote more of his time to his new coaching role at Newcastle United.[20]
He signed with Gateshead for a fourth time in his career on 20 February 2024, joining on an initial one month loan deal following injury and sickness amongst Gateshead's two other goalkeepers.[21] In March 2024, following his return to his parent club, Montgomery left The Moors by mutual consent.[22] On 30 March, he re-signed for Gateshead, his fifth spell, on a deal until the end of the 2023–24 season.[23]
