On 28 July 2010, Antón moved to Real Betis, spending his first and only season in Andalusia with the reserves also in the third level. In the summer of 2011 he had a trial with FC Red Bull Salzburg, signing shortly after and joining Hungarian top flight club Újpest FC the following year.
Antón signed for UB Conquense on 30 January 2015, receiving the international clearance seven days later. He continued competing in division three in the following years, with CD Guijuelo and CD Eldense.
On 28 March 2017, Antón agreed to a one-year contract at Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho in the Finnish Veikkausliiga.
