Football career
Born in Madrid, Monroy signed with Atlético Madrid in 2005, from neighbouring club RSD Alcalá. He could only represent the C and B-teams during his four-year spell with the Colchoneros, the latter in the third division.
From 2009 to 2011, Monroy continued to compete in the third level, with UD Logroñés. He missed most of his first season due to injury, appearing in just 12 league games.
Monroy's first top flight experience occurred in 2011–12, with FC Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț in Romania. In the following campaign he played 28 Liga I matches and scored his first goal as a professional, in a 3–0 win against CS Concordia Chiajna.
In January 2014, Monroy transferred to fellow league side CFR Cluj for €40,000. That November, he chose to terminate his contract over unpaid wages, and the following February he signed with Moldovan National Division's FC Sheriff Tiraspol.
