Abraham González Casanova (born 16 July 1985), known simply as Abraham, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club Akritas Chlorakas as a central midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Abraham made his professional debut with local Terrassa FC,[1] appearing in 16 matches during the 2004–05 season in the Segunda División, which ended in relegation.

Two years later, he was bought by neighbours FC Barcelona, being immediately assigned to its reserve side which competed in Tercera División. He made his debut for the first team during the Copa del Rey tie against Benidorm CF (1–0 win) on 28 October 2008.[2] In the last round of La Liga, as Barça were already champions, he came on as a substitute for Xavi during the 1–1 draw at Deportivo de La Coruña.[3]

Abraham was released by Barcelona in the summer of 2009, joining Cádiz CF as the club had just returned to the second division after a one-year absence. He appeared regularly for the Andalusians, who were immediately relegated.[4]

Abraham signed with Gimnàstic de Tarragona for the 2010–11 campaign,[5] but failed to impress at his new club. In the following transfer window he was loaned to fellow league side SD Ponferradina,[6] eventually suffering another relegation.

On 15 July 2011, Abraham joined AD Alcorcón also in the second tier.[7] After two seasons as a starter (missing promotion in the play-offs on both occasions), he moved to La Liga with RCD Espanyol.[8]

Abraham scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 27 February 2015, the game's only in a home victory over Córdoba CF.[9] On 17 June 2016, after three seasons with an average of 21 league appearances, the 30-year-old moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing with Club Universidad Nacional from the Liga MX as a free agent.[10]
