Playing career
Antonini began his career with Phoenix Soccer Club. He was in 2001 part of the Boys U-15 Manitoba Provincial Team and 2003 of the U-18. He was signed by North York Astros for the CSL 2008 season. Antonini was among the new additional signings done by Astros head coach Vladimir Klinovsky midway through the season; in order to strengthen his squad for the battle over the final playoff berth. On July 6, 2009 he made his full Astros debut in a 2-2 draw versus the St. Catharines Wolves; he contributed by helping the Astros achieve their first point of the 2009 season. Soon after Antonini secured himself a starting position as a defender playing as a rightback. Though the Astros did overwhelmingly improve under Klinovsky leadership, it was not enough to secure the final playoff spot. The Astros would end up finishing second last in the National Division, eight points behind the final playoff spot.
The following season, Antonini was transferred to Portugal FC, where he was reunited with Carmine Isacco his former head coach during his tenure at York University. He made his debut for the club on May 8, 2010 in a match against TFC Academy.
