[edit] Playing career

Abbey began his career with Arlesey Town then moved onto Hitchin Town, before joining Cambridge United in February 2000. He soon established himself in the Cambridge side, earning a £350,000 move to Norwich City in December 2000.[2] However his time at Carrow Road was marred by two career threatening knee injuries, causing him to miss most of the 2003–04 promotion season, though he was given a championship medal at the end of the season. He was given a three month contract to prove his fitness at the start of the following season.[3] He spent September 2004 on loan at Boston United, moving to Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer the following month. In November 2004 he moved to Bradford City on a short-term deal.[4] He made his debut for Bradford on 20 November against Brentford when he scored after just two minutes but received the first red card of his career for violent conduct after a clash with Deon Burton.[5][6] His second game did not come for nearly a month because of suspension and he played a total of only six games before he was released by manager Colin Todd.[7] In March 2005 he moved to Torquay United, but was released at the end of the 2004–05 season.

He joined Forest Green Rovers in August 2005, playing 26 times before being released in April 2006.[8]

He joined Kettering Town in August 2006 in time for the start of the 2006–07 Conference North season,[9] but was released in November 2006.

In January 2007 he signed for Barton Rovers[10] He signed for Halesowen Town in November 2007.[11][12]
