Overview

• Brentford have permitted Antonio to work with Keith Andrews’ first team to maintain fitness, and there are currently no plans to offer him a contract.
• Antonio was released by West Ham in June and later played for their Under-21s in August as part of his rehabilitation.
• He made his competitive return for Jamaica in June, coming on late against Guatemala in the Gold Cup.
• Football Insider has argued Brentford should consider a short-term, low-wage deal given his top-flight experience and their limited striking options, which remains opinion.
• Antonio has said he wants to continue playing with 2026 in mind for Jamaica, while Graham Potter previously noted West Ham had discussed possible coaching or mentoring roles.
