Club career

Independiente Nacional 1906

Monteagudo started his professional career at hometown club Independiente Nacional 1906 in 2004. However, for the bad luck of Monteagudo, Independiente Nacional 1906 descended in the Clausura 2007 tournament to Segunda División.

In December 2008, Monteagudo along with his club and national team teammate Manuel Salazar, both were invited to have trials with Mexican Primera División A team Monterrey 1a. A (effectively CF Monterreys reserve team), with the hopes of signing with the club's Second Division side.

After the two-week trial, Monteagudo was close to signing with the Mexican side, but ultimately he was not offered a contract, and he returned to El Salvador.

In the second leg of the semi-finals of the Clausura 2013, Monteagudo scored a crucial goal against Alianza in a 1–0 victory at the Sergio Torres Stadium. This goal allowed Luis Ángel Firpo to reach the final against FAS in the Estadio Cuscatlán.

Audaz

Monteagudo signed with Audaz in 2015.

Return to Audaz

Monteagudo signed again with Audaz for the Clausura 2018 tournament. Audaz was the newly promoted team in the previous tournament, the Apertura 2017. With Audaz, Monteagudo reached the quarter-finals of the Apertura 2018, but the team of San Vicente was eliminated by Águila 3–4 on aggregate.

Match-fixing ban
