After spending time at Chelsea, and playing for Republic of Ireland under-19s,  Anton joined Brighton aged eighteen in 2011 and appeared once as a substitute in a FA Cup tie against Wrexham in January 2012. He moved to Exeter on loan just over a year later and played in two games against Rotherham and Chesterfield in April 2013. Returning to Brighton, Anton was immediately released in May 2013.      

Joining Oldham Athletic for a season, Anton then had three seasons at Swindon making seventy-seven league and cup appearances before his release in May 2017. He then played for Hungerford Town ahead of moving on to Marlow, Wealdstone and Bracknell. He also played in a 2017 pre-season friendly for Celtic, then managed by his father, as he trained with the Glasgow club to regain his fitness after leaving Swindon.
