Football career

Antón joined Real Madrid's youth system in 2003, aged 14. Four years later, he made his senior debuts, spending three full seasons with the B-team, in Segunda División B.

Without actually making his La Liga debut, Antón sat on the bench in Bernd Schuster's last game in charge with the Merengues' first team, a 3–4 home loss against Sevilla FC, on 7 December 2008; the following match, a 0–2 loss at FC Barcelona in Juande Ramos' debut, he was again an unused substitute.

On 28 July 2010, Antón signed with Real Betis,^[1] spending his first season in Andalusia with the reserves, also in level three.

In the summer of 2011 he was tested by FC Red Bull Salzburg. After that he signed a contract with this team and is now playing in the Austrian Bundesliga.
