Early life

Born in South Africa, Abrahams grew up in Lavender Hill in the Cape Flats of Cape Town. [2]

Club career

Sint-Truidense

Abrahams attended trials with several local clubs in the Cape Town region but were rejected as coaches believed he was too short. He attended a trial with Cape Town United after seeing an advert in a local newspaper at Wynberg Military Camp. The youth team was run by Colin Gie, a noted youth coach in the area, who worked with Abrahams for several years before arranging a trial with Belgian side Sint-Truidense VV when Abrahams was 18. [2] Arriving in July 2015, the club extended the trial period before signing Abrahams on a three-year deal with a two-year extension option for the club. [3]

After progressing through the club's youth system, Abrahams made his senior debut on 1 April 2017 as a substitute in place of Roman Bezus during a 1–0 victory over Waasland-Beveren in a UEFA Europa League playoff match. [3] [4] On 17 May, Abrahams scored his first senior goals after netting a hat-trick during a 7–0 victory over K.V. Mechelen. Having started the match as a substitute, he entered the game in the second half and scored all three goals in 8 minutes. [5] His performances resulted in the club offering him a three-year contract extension. [6] The following season, Abrahams' involvement in the first team was limited; he made only seven league appearances for the side. [4]

Westerlo

In order to gain more first team experience, Abrahams signed for Belgian First Division B side Westerlo. [7]

Deinze

On 17 July 2021, he joined Deinze on a two-year contract, also in the Belgian First Division B. [8] Abrahams's contract with Deinze was terminated by mutual consent on 12 August 2022. [9]

Novi Pazar

In summer 2023, Abrahams signed with Serbian SuperLiga side FK Novi Pazar. [4]
