John Antwi Duku (born 6 August 1992) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays for the Egyptian side Misr Lel-Makkasa SC , on loan from Al Ahly SC, in the Egyptian Premier League as a Striker.
The footballing career of John Antwi began with Dreams F.C., a Ghanaian club that competes in the third division of the league. While playing for Dreams F.C. he was invited to the 2010–2011 preseason training programme of Accra Hearts of Oak SC. The invitation was proved fruitful as his form showed by scoring five goals in seven friendly matches.
Antwi began his professional football career with Sekondi Eleven Wise in the Ghanaian coastal city of Sekondi in 2011. After a year playing in the league he joined Ismaily in December 2012 on a five-year deal. He was purchased for two hundred and fifty thousand US$.
The performances of Antwi earned him trials with Egyptian sides Al Ahly and Beni Suef Telephones before joining Ismaily.
John Antwi settled quickly to life in the Egyptian league. In his first season with Ismaily SC he scored a total of nine goals in as many official games he played with them. Prior to the cancellation of the Egyptian Premier League due the June 2013 political crisis, John scored two goals in CAF Confederation Cup matches, two goals in the Egypt Cup and five goals in the Egyptian Premier League. In the second season with Ismaily in the Egyptian league he scored 11 goals in 16 matches to get the top scorer of the league.
As at the end of the day two of the 2013–2014 Egyptian Premier League, Antwi was the leading top scorer with four goals.
On 26 January 2015, Antwi joined the Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab after Ismaily agreed to a deal for $2,200,000 in a two-and-half-year contract.
On 6 February, Antwi made his club debut as a replacement for Abdulmajeed Al Sulaiheem in the 52nd minute against Al Khaleej, but he failed to score as the match ended in 1–0 away defeat.
