Club Career

Malaga

Born in Malaga, Andalusia to a Romani family, Antonin started his career at lowly locals CD 26 de Febrero before agreeing to a four-year deal with FC Schalke 04 in July 2016. However, only days later, he returned to his previous club after failing to adapt to the new country, and joined Malaga CF in February 2017.

On 28 January 2018, Antonin was loaned to Tercera Division side CD El Palo, until June. He made his senior debut just hours later, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Loja CD.

Antonin scored his first senior goal on 11 March 2018, netting the last of a 2–0 home success over CD Huetor Tajar. On 22 April, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–1 home defeat of UD Ciudad de Torredonjimeno, and finished the season with six goals in 15 matches.

Upon returning from loan, Antonin was assigned to Malaga's B-team in Segunda Division B.
