Antonio’s breakthrough came at Sheffield Wednesday, where his performances helped secure promotion to the Championship. In 2014, he moved to Nottingham Forest, where he became a standout player, eventually joining West Ham United in 2015. At West Ham, Antonio thrived, earning accolades and setting records, including becoming the first player to score four goals in a Premier League game for the club.
Antonio scored 12 league goals in 64 appearances for Wednesday before moving to Nottingham Forest for £1.5m and a year later he completed a £7m transfer to West Ham United.

He debuted for Jamaica in September 2021, scoring his first goal in November. In June 2024, he made history by scoring Jamaica’s first-ever Copa América goal against Ecuador.
