Career
Born in Merthyr Tydfil, Abraham came through the youth ranks at Cardiff City, captaining them to a Welsh Youth Cup win, 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 1991–92 season and left the club to join Hereford United in January 1993, He spent one and a half seasons with Hereford before leaving for his hometown team of Merthyr Tydfil, also working as a groundsman at the club. After spending over five years at Merthyr, Abraham spent a short time in the Welsh Premier League with Rhayader Town alongside for Cardiff team mate Cohen Griffith until the pair left the club by mutual consent in January 2002.

Hereford United
Signed on a free transfer, Gareth made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Barnet, and was a constant name in the side for the rest of the season - scoring once against Gillingham. The next season, Gareth was again a regular in the side at the start and the end of the season - missing most of the months of November and December, as the side struggled in the 4th Division - eventually finishing 20th. Again Gareth scored once, in a rare victory over Wigan Athletic.
