Antonio has resumed training with Brentford less than a year after a car crash shattered his femur in four places. The 35-year-old’s comeback follows months of recovery after emergency surgery and rehabilitation supported by West Ham.
Brentford opened their facilities for Antonio’s non-contract training while he rebuilds fitness. Though a new deal isn’t imminent, he’s aiming to return to professional play and represent Jamaica at the 2026 World Cup after proving his full recovery.
