From the clubs website . . .

Bristol Rovers are delighted to announce that Cristian Montano has agreed a new deal with the club.

Montano arrived at the Mem last summer after a seasons spell at America de Cali in his native Colombia. He made 31 appearances for Darrell Clarke's promotion winning side last season chipping in with two goals.

On agreeing his new deal, Cristian told us "I'm delighted to have re-signed for the club, Rovers gave me the opportunity to return home from Columbia and all the boys made me instantly welcome and I thank them all for that.

"The gaffer [Darrell Clarke] gave me my opportunity after Christmas, and I really appreciate his faith. I did my very best to take it and play my part in the promotion push which ended fantastically in that final day at the Memorial Stadium.

"Finally the biggest thank you to the fans who have always supported me and we look forward to taking on League One together."

Montano becomes the eighth player from the promotion winning squad to agree a new contract with the club, following teammates Steve Mildenhall, Daniel Leadbitter and Billy Bodin, James Clarke, Lee Mansell, Mark McChrystal and Ellis Harrison.

"The game is about glory. It’s about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.

Had games where he was more of a burden on lee brown than he was helping the team. But also had games where he was virtually unstoppable. Be interesting to see

We need to keep as much of our squad as we can to keep the morale and chemistry up.

He now has some stability in his life which is the key, he can relax a little more and play more freely.

Good signing. Knows the team and squad and appears to be liked so I guess his attitude is good and is a good squad member. We are going to need players who won't play every week and he did well last season. He didn't set the world alight but he didn't let anyone down. League 1 may be his top level but this is a reliable signing. Good luck Christiano.
UTG!

Really glad Monty has signed. Played really well from March onwards and creates lots of chances.

He's a nice guy as well and he deserves this after his horrendous time at Oldham.

Virtually unstoppable? Struggling to think of such games.

Not a huge fan of him and not convinced he's consistent enough to make a good L1 player but really hope he proves me wrong.
