Club career
Abel was born in Seville. After beginning professionally with Sevilla FC's B-team, he joined Andalusian neighbours Malaga CF in the same predicament, helping it to a two-year second division stint.
The following season Abel signed with Real Murcia, being instrumental in its return to La Liga after a three-year absence, although an immediate relegation would befall in 2008.
In the 2008 summer he joined FC Steaua Bucuresti, resigning after only four months with the team. He returned to Spain and its second level by joining Xerez CD in late January 2009, still being able to contribute with 15 games (12 starts) to the club's first-ever top flight promotion.
Abel contributed with roughly the same numbers – although in a full season – as Xerez was immediately relegated back. In late August 2010 he moved to another side in the region and category, freshly-promoted Granada CF. In his debut campaign with his new club he only missed one league match in 42 (3,366 minutes of action), helping to a top division return after an absence of 35 years.
