A

Brentford

Annon's form for Carshalton Athletic earned him a £20,000 transfer to Second Division club Brentford in March 1994.[3] He made 9 appearances during what remained of the 1993–94 season and scored his first Bees goal in a 3–1 defeat to Stockport County on 29 March.[4][5]

Annon was largely out of favour during the early months of the

Football League Trophy first round match against Gillingham on 8 November and celebrated his return to the team with the opening goal in a 3–1 victory.[6] He started in the following game, an FA Cup first round match away to Cambridge United and scored the opening goal in a 2–2 draw.[6] Annon made his first league start of the 1994–95 season in a 2–1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on 26 November 1994, which kicked off a run of 10 consecutive appearances.[6] He scored his third goal of the season in a 7–0 win over Plymouth Argyle at Griffin Park on 17 December.[6] Annon's final appearance of the season came in a 2–1 victory over Hull City on 21 January 1995.[6] After Paul Stephenson's return to fitness,[7] Annon only received one more call into the first team squad during the remainder of the season.[6] He made 13 appearances during the 1994–95 season and scored three goals.[6]

Annon was out of favour during the 1995–96 season and made just one appearance, as a substitute for Denny Mundee in a 2–0 defeat to league leaders Swindon Town on 2 September 1995.[8] Annon departed the Bees in February 1996,[2] after making 23 appearances and scoring four goals during his two years with the club.[7]

Havant & Waterlooville

Annon moved back up to the Conference South to sign for Havant & Waterlooville in October 2005.[17] He made 30 appearances during the remainder of the 2005–06 season,[18] but his season ended in disappointment after three-point deduction saw the Hawks miss out on a playoff place.[19] Annon was retained for the 2006–07 season,[20] but injury problems restricted him to just 10 appearances.[18] He made just one appearance during the 2007–08 season,[18] before departing the club in February 2008.[3] Annon made 41 appearances during his time with the club.[21]
