Overview
- Al-Sailiya confirmed the signing on Monday, with the club not disclosing the length or financial terms of Antonio’s contract.
- Some outlets report the deal runs for two months, a detail not announced by the club and described as allowing him to reassess his options in the summer.
- Antonio has not played club football since December 2024, returning only for three substitute appearances with Jamaica in June 2025 during his recovery from multiple femur fractures.
- He said managers and some owners in England were reluctant to sign him post-injury, after training with Brentford and holding talks with Leicester City and exploring a pay-as-you-play proposal with Charlton.
- The former West Ham forward, the club’s all-time Premier League top scorer with 68 goals from 323 appearances, posted that he is praying for peace in the region, and his debut date is unclear with Al-Sailiya’s next two matches postponed.
