The 34-year-old Antonio has played for West Ham since 2015. He is the club’s all-time leading goalscorer in Premier League matches with 68 in 268 appearances.
Antonio has appeared in all 14 Premier League matches for the Hammers this season, scoring one goal and tallying one assist.
West Ham United is one of 10 clubs Antonio has played for since turning pro in 2008. His senior career began with Tooting & Mitcham United, but he left after just four matches to join Reading.
While playing primarily for Reading from 2008 to 2012, Antonio was also loaned out to various clubs during those four years. He had a two-year stint with Sheffield Wednesday from 2012 to 2014.
After a one-year run with Nottingham Forest, Antonio signed with West Ham United in September 2015. The club has finished in the top 10 in the Premier League five times since he joined.
In addition to his club career, Antonio has played for the Jamaican national team since 2021. He scored the country’s first-ever goal in Copa América competition in a 3-1 loss to Ecuador on June 26.
