Aitor Monroy Rueda (born 18 October 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Tercera Federación club Racing Madrid.
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 over a four-year spell, the latter in the Segunda División B.
From 2009 to 2011, Monroy continued to compete in division three, with UD Logroñés. He was rarely played during his spell, mainly due to injuries.
Monroy's first top-flight experience occurred in 2011–12, with FC Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț in Romania. In the following campaign he appeared in 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 top-flight 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.
After two seasons with Maccabi Petah Tikva F.C. of the Israeli Premier League, Monroy returned to Romania in January 2018, signing for FC Dinamo București. In the following years, he represented in quick succession FC Dunărea Călărași (Romanian top division), Internacional de Madrid (Spanish third tier) and Jamshedpur FC (Indian Super League).
Monroy returned to the Spanish lower leagues and Alcalá in March 2022, aged 34. On 12 September 2024, he joined CD Azuqueca also of Tercera Federación.
