Jefferson Antonio Montero Vite (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈʝeferson monˈteɾo]; born 1 September 1989) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Swansea City and the Ecuador national team.
Born in Babahoyo, Los Ríos Province, Montero started playing professionally with Club Sport Emelec, but first impressed whilst at Club Social y Deportivo Independiente José Terán in the Ecuadorian Serie B.
Shortly after arriving he was loaned to Mexican club Dorados de Sinaloa, which was pushing for promotion to the Liga MX: he signed alongside compatriot José Madrid, and made his official debut for his new team on 11 October 2008 by playing the entire match against Irapuato FC.
On 27 April 2009, Villarreal CF from Spain signed the 20-year-old Montero to a five-year contract, effective from the start of the 2009–10 campaign in La Liga. On 19 July, he contributed with two goals and five assists as the Valencian Community side trounced amateurs Navata 27–0; he spent the vast majority of his first season with the club, however, with the reserves in division two, being one of the most important offensive elements as they overachieved in their first season in that category, finishing seventh.
