Timmy Abraham is currently in the midst of his fourth loan spell away from Fulham at Newport County.

The 20-year-old has had mixed fortunes in his time away from Craven Cottage at Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle and Raith Rovers but is beginning to make his presence known in the Football League this time around at Rodney Parade.

Abraham has scored three and assisted one in all competitions for the Exiles and will be hoping to impress new manager James Rowberry in the coming weeks.

The Londoner has made three starts in the league but none since the middle of September, Michael Flynn's exit may turn out to be a blessing for the 20-year-old who will be hoping to stake a claim for a regular starting berth in County's attacking contingent.

How's he getting on?

At this stage Abraham's loan spell has been more successful than the previous three where he struggled to gain any valuable experience. With a lot of appearances in Premier League U18 and 2 at 20 years old it is time that Abraham starts looking to build bridges in the Football League.

Rowberry coming in presents a huge opportunity for Abraham, the Welshman has worked his way up through youth football so should appreciate Abraham's situation and will want to utilise him for the Exiles to climb back up the table.

Can he become a Cottagers first-teamer?

 

 

It feels like Abraham is transitioning out of Fulham and with this loan spell being in the fourth tier, at 20 years old, while Fulham look to achieve promotion to the top-flight it looks very unlikely he will make it in the first team. However, that is not to say that he cannot have a very successful career in the Football League.

Players develop at different speeds at different times and if Abraham can prove himself in this loan spell then he will have plenty of suitors come the time for him to depart Craven Cottage. When he is settled in a permanent destination we can start to consider his future potential.
