Micah Oluwapelumi Oluwatumise Ayomide Anthony (born 26 March 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for EFL League One club Bristol Rovers.
Anthony began his football career with Total Football Academy, joining Tottenham Hotspur aged seven following an unsuccessful trial with Crystal Palace.[3] One year later, he joined Queens Park Rangers.[3]
In July 2020, Anthony signed a two-year scholarship with Queens Park Rangers.[4] Having spent a short time on loan with Southern Premier Division South side Hanwell Town, toward the end of the 2022–23 season,[5] he signed a new six-month contract upon his return to his parent club.[6]
Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, Anthony was released by Queens Park Rangers.[7]
In July 2024, Anthony was reported to be on trial with League One club Bristol Rovers, first featuring off of the bench in a friendly against Yeovil Town.[8] On 9 August 2024, he was announced to have joined the club on a two-year deal with the option for a further twelve months[9] having impressed new manager Matt Taylor with his willingness to defend for the team as well as his exciting attacking play.[10] On 13 August 2024, he made his senior debut, coming on a second-half substitute in a 2–0 EFL Cup First Round defeat to Cardiff City.[11]
On 5 November 2024, Anthony joined National League South side Bath City on a one-month loan deal.[12] In January 2025, it was announced that Anthony had suffered a tear to his medial knee ligament.[13]
Anthony's twin brother Elijah also played for the Queens Park Rangers academy.[14]
