Abraham happy with winning start at Raith Rovers

The 20-year-old signed on Friday from Fulham until the end of ther season and was pitched straight into the first team line-up for the 3-1 win against Dundee on Saturday.

Though he didn’t manage to get his first goal for the club he says he was pleased with the three points.

“I'm happy that the team won,” he says, “personally, as a striker you always want to score.

" I look back at the chance I had and think maybe I should have done something different, but there's always the next game.

“Even when they scored early I thought we were in control of the game so I was never really worried.

“We maybe needed that extra push so it was good that they scored when they did. I felt like we turned on the switch when that happened.”

The Londoner says that when he was offered the chance to move to Kirkcaldy he was encouraged by what he saw.

“I was told a few things about the club and did a bit of research and liked what I heard.

“[Fulham team mate] Kieron Bowie did well here so that gave me a bit of motivation.

“I thought it would be good to come here and get some experience. Obviously it's something different.

“Every loan is an opportunity to better myself, to try and help the team I go to and to impress the people back at Fulham.

“The distance from London didn't bother me. Wherever I can go to play football I'll go, no matter the distance - or the weather!

Abraham is the brother of Chelsea and England star Tammy whom he says encouraged him to make the move north and is now a fully paid up subscriber to Raith TV.

“He told me just to work hard and get in the box, score goals and help the team.

“He literally got a subscription to Raith TV before the game so my whole family was watching.

“I've always seen [Tammy] as an extra motivation. I've grown up watching him and it's almost like having a role model right there.

“I use it as a positive rather than a negative. He helps me a lot.”
