Born in Ashford, Kent, Antwi attended Chace Community School in north London before moving as a trainee to Crystal Palace where he became a professional player. After a brief spell in Sweden with Ljungskile SK, he returned to England with Football Conference side Aldershot Town where he played a pivotal part in their promotion push, including scoring the winning penalty against Hereford United in the Conference play-off semi-final, losing out on penalties in the final.
Antwi joined Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer in the summer of 2005 after leaving Aldershot but a groin injury in pre season meant he made his full debut on 8 April 2006, against Macclesfield Town and went on to keep his place for the play-off games against Cheltenham Town.
Antwi was given the number 5 shirt for the 2006–07 season, and subsequently for the 2007–08 season. Antwi captained the side on several occasions early on in the season, and took on the role of vice-captain for the 2007–08 season but found his time there to be devastated by injury.
Antwi went out on loan to Northwich Victoria on 14 November 2008, after returning from a broken toe which he suffered in the Carling Cup match against Birmingham City on 13 August. He returned to help guide Wycombe to automatic promotion to league one that season.[1]
Antwi left Wycombe on 6 May 2009 and signed for Dagenham and Redbridge on a two year contract on 17 July.[2] He enjoyed a commanding first half of the season but on 5 December was sidelined with an ankle injury that kept him out for the rest of the season. However Dagenham went on to clinch promotion to League One in the Play-Off Final on 30 May 2010 at Wembley Stadium, the highest position in the club's history.
Antwi was released by Dagenham after their relegation from League One in the 2010–11 season.
On 29 July 2011, after a trial period, he signed a six-month contract with Luton Town in the Conference National.[3] On 24 November 2011 he joined Grimsby Town on a one month loan.[4]
