Football career
Born in Pinilla de los Barruecos, Province of Burgos, Antón grew in the ranks of Real Valladolid and, after having appeared in the closing round of 2002–03's La Liga, a 1–1 away draw against Deportivo Alavés, he played in three Segunda División seasons with the main squad. In the 2006–07 campaign, he contributed with 21 games and two goals (including one in a 1–0 win at Málaga CF) as the Castile and León team returned to the top division after a three-year absence.
Antón was absent throughout the first half of 2007–08, only appearing in Copa del Rey matches and being loaned in January 2008 to Racing de Ferrol, eventually relegated to Segunda División B.
Antón was loaned again in the 2008–09 season, now to promoted CD Numancia. He played his first game for the Soria side on 31 August 2008, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 home win against FC Barcelona; however, in November, during a home defeat against Real Betis, he suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury, being lost for the rest of the campaign – his #21 jersey was given to new signing Carlos Aranda.
In late August 2009, Antón moved again on loan, joining Recreativo de Huelva for 2009–10's second division and experiencing his best season as a professional, scoring five goals in 2,689 minutes for the Andalusians. On 27 July 2012, after being relegated from the second level with FC Cartagena, he joined fellow league club CD Guadalajara on a one-year contract, and suffered the same fate at the end of the season due administratives issues.
Antón subsequently returned to Recreativo, and was released in June 2015 following yet another relegation from the second tier. On 1 August, he went back to his native region and signed with SD Ponferradina.
On 31 August 2016, following his team's relegation, 32-year-old Antón returned to his native region and joined Burgos CF for two years.
