Antonio made his competitive comeback with Jamaica earlier this summer and is now ready to find himself a new club.

"No, definitely not," Antonio told talkSPORT when asked if he plans to go into the media full-time.

"I'm speaking to clubs right now to see where the best offer is for me to go, and we'll just see how it goes.

"To be honest, there's a mixture, we're talking to clubs here, we're talking to clubs abroad, but I'm going to leave it very vague - talk to clubs in England and abroad."

Antonio also said: "I just wouldn't want my career to come to an end by a car crash, literally.

"So I've got something to prove to show that I can come back, I can come back and play well, which I was doing for the last 10 years. 

"Even before I did the car crash, I was starting for West Ham, so it shows I've still got that ability about me and I can do it again."
