West Ham United attacker Missile Antonio returned to action after recovering from a life-threatening car accident in December.
The 34-year-old striker returned to his actions with Borehamwood on Friday, becoming friendly to the under-21 side of the club.
The striker managed to score two goals. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the London Club to give them an opportunity in future campaigns.
The player is pleased to have returned to action, and he tries to build on the performance of the under-21 side of the club yesterday. Antonio opened up a score just four minutes into the game, earning his second in the 23rd minute.

Meanwhile, West Ham United Under 21 Under Mark Robson praised the players and revealed that it was a great experience for a young player to play alongside the 34-year-old.
Will Antonio be able to bag a new contract at West Ham?
The striker is now a free agent after his contract with West Ham expired on June 30th. It will be interesting to see if West Ham has decided to offer him an extension. The 34-year-old will quickly organize his future and try to focus on his football again. He has been taking action for quite some time and he will once again be desperate to compete at the highest level.
Yesterday’s friendly performance certainly boosts him a great confidence boost, and he will try to build on it in the coming weeks.
West Ham, on the other hand, lacks deep in his offensive unit, and keeping him 34 at the club might not be a bad idea in the short term. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in a reliable striker in the coming weeks.
