[edit] Career

Abraham came through the youth ranks at Cardiff City, captaining them to Welsh Youth cup glory, before making his debut in 1987 during a 3-0 defeat to Wrexham. Three days after his debut he scored his first goal for the club when he found the net in a 3-1 victory over Darlington but did not appear for the Bluebirds again for the rest of the season. It was during the 1988-89 season that he began to establish himself in the first team but during his time at the club Cardiff found themselves hovering above relegation from the Football League. He found himself out of the side in 1992 and left the club to join Hereford United in January 1983. He spent one and a half seasons at Hereford before leaving for his hometown team of Merthyr Tydfil, where he also worked as a groundsman while playing. After spending over five years at Merthyr, Abraham spent a short time in the Welsh Premier League with Rhayader Town.
