Ammon News - West Ham United's all-time leading Premier League goalscorer has signed for his first club ​since undergoing surgery following a serious car ‌accident, with Al-Sailiya confirming the arrival of Michail Antonio on a free transfer on Monday.

The Qatari club announced ​the deal on X, posting a photo ​of the 35-year-old Jamaica international in their ⁠shirt along with a video of his ​goals and training highlights. The length and financial ​terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Antonio left the Premier League side in August after the London club opted ​not to renew his contract.

He has not ​played club football since December 2024, when his car struck ‌a ⁠tree as he drove home from training. The accident caused multiple fractures to his thigh, requiring surgery and more than three weeks in hospital.

He ​made his ​return to ⁠the pitch in June 2025 when he came on as an 85th-minute ​substitute for Jamaica in their 1-0 ​Gold ⁠Cup group stage defeat by Guatemala.

Antonio joined West Ham in 2015 and made 323 appearances, scoring ⁠83 ​goals in all competitions. He ​is also the club's all-time leading Premier League scorer with 68 ​goals.
