On 31 January 2020, Anthony joined National League South side Weymouth on loan for the remainder of the season.[3] He made his debut for the Terras in a 5–1 win over Maidstone United on 29 February 2020[4] and scored the first and only goal of his brief loan spell in a 3–2 win over Dorking Wanderers on 25 July 2020.[5]

Anthony made his debut for the Cherries on 2 December 2020 against Preston North End at the Vitality Stadium, where he assisted a goal for Sam Surridge in a 2–3 loss for the Cherries.[6] On 31 July 2021, Anthony made his first competitive start for Bournemouth in the club's 5–0 win over Milton Keynes Dons in the EFL Cup.[7]

First team breakthrough

On 6 August 2021, Anthony made his first league start for Bournemouth in their 2–2 draw with West Bromwich Albion in the Championship, where he also grabbed an assist.[8] Anthony started the next league game against Nottingham Forest, grabbing another assist in a 1–2 victory for the Cherries.[9] Bournemouth manager Scott Parker commented on Anthony that "He's shown good quality ... he's got his opportunity and at this present moment he's taken it ... Every bit of me suggests that this boy has got a key role to play this year".[10] He scored his first goal for Bournemouth in a 2–0 win at Birmingham City on 18 August 2021.[11]

Anthony continued a strong start to the season by winning the club's player of the month award for November, scoring four goals and getting one assist during this period.[12] For his performances, Anthony was also nominated as the EFL Championship Player of the Month for November, losing out to Chris Willock of Queens Park Rangers.[13]
