Michail Antonio joins Al-Sailiya in Qatar
Michail Antonio has left West Ham United to continue his career in Qatar, signing with Al-Sailiya SC.
The 35-year-old striker, who scored 83 goals and registered 42 assists in 323 appearances for West Ham, will bring his Premier League experience to the Q-League side.
Antonio had recently been training with Charlton Athletic but ultimately chose to pursue a new challenge in Qatar.
Al-Sailiya currently sits 10th in the Q-League standings and hopes Antonio’s arrival can boost their attacking options.
The Jamaican international sees the move as an opportunity to reinvigorate his career after several seasons in England’s top flight.
Throughout his time at West Ham, Antonio became a key figure for the club, contributing decisive goals and creating chances for teammates.
His departure marks the end of an 11-year spell with the Hammers, during which he established himself as one of the Premier League’s most reliable forwards.
The transfer to Qatar represents a significant step in Antonio’s career, offering a chance to experience a different league and culture while continuing to play at a competitive level.
His physical presence and goal-scoring record are expected to make an immediate impact for Al-Sailiya.
Fans and analysts will now watch closely to see how Antonio adapts to the Q-League and whether he can replicate the form that made him a standout player in England.
Meanwhile, West Ham will look to fill the gap left by their long-serving striker as the Premier League campaign continues.
With the move officially completed, Antonio begins a new chapter in Qatar, aiming to make a mark in the Q-League and extend his career at a high level.
