Pacy London-born attacker who started his career with Isthmian League Division 2 club Chertsey where he scored seven times in 36 league outings (six as sub) during the 2003/04 season.
In September 2004 Anthony joined Ashford (Middlesex) who were in Division 1 West of the Southern League at that time and he was still with the club during the 2006/07 campaign - Ashford's first in the Isthmian League Premier Division. Anthony only featured in seven league matches (twice as sub) without scoring during an injury-hit season but he played more regularly during 2007/08. The Thanet Times' report on Ashford's 0-0 draw with visitors Margate on 6.10.07 said that Anthony was "the game's best player" and the paper also noted that he gave Margate full-back Louis Smith "a going over". Anthony scored four times in 31 Premier Division appearances (11 as sub) during 2007/08 and also managed two goals in cup ties.
In July 2008 he signed for Bromley and after a few months there Anthony moved on to Kingstonian in December 2008.
He made three Isthmian League Division 1 South appearances for the K's without scoring before going back to Ashford in February 2009.
Anthony finished the 2008/09 season there and scored three times in 14 Premier League outings (two as sub).
In the summer of 2009 he linked up with Sutton and in November 2009 Anthony was loaned to Margate in what was intended to be a three month deal.
He made his debut as a substitute in a 3-2 defeat against Cray at Bromley in the Isthmian League Premier Division on 29.11.09 and on 5.12.09 Anthony made his first start for Margate. He marked the occasion by scoring with what the Thanet Times called "a wonderful shot" into the far corner from just outside penalty area having beaten two defenders on a probing run. The match ended in a 2-2 draw and when the Thanet Times asked manager Mark Butler for a comment on Anthony's goal he remarked "a bit special, that."
Anthony started seven of Margate's next eight games and in its report on a 1-0 win over Maidstone at Ashford on 26.12.09 the Isle of Thanet Gazette said he "gave the hosts a right going-over". Margate lost the return match against Maidstone 1-0 at Hartsdown Park on 2.1.10 and the Thanet Times said Anthony "looked a threat with his pace". He made his last appearance in a 2-0 defeat at Kingstonian on 31.1.10 and the Thanet Times said Anthony was "kicked out of the game" by big home defender Francis Duku. In all Anthony had scored once from nine outings (one as sub) before his loan was cut short.
After returning to Sutton he featured in a few games before the end of the season and Anthony finished 2009/10 having scored four goals from 18 Premier League appearances (eight as sub) for the Surrey club.
Having been released by Sutton Anthony featured in a friendly for Tonbridge in the summer of 2010 before signing for Carshalton ahead of the 2010/11 campaign proper. Their manager at the time was former Margate boss Mark Butler.
Anthony made 27 Premier League appearances (ten as sub) for Carshalton during 2010/11 and although he didn't score in the league he did manage two goals in cup ties. Anthony then made a further 16 league appearances (12 as sub) for the Robins during the 2011/12 season and his only goal of the campaign came in a cup tie. He was released in May 2012.
After leaving Carshalton Anthony had a few months out of football before signing for Division 1 South outfit Chipstead in September 2012. He made four league appearances (one as sub) there without scoring.
In October 2012 he moved on to Tooting & Mitcham, also of Division 1 South, and at that time former Margate player Jamie Lawrence was also in the Terrors' squad. Anthony finished the 2012/13 season there and scored three times from 29 league outings (seven as sub).
