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 Blubirds again for the rest of the season. It was during the 1988-89 season that he began to esablish 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.References
