Following the Worcester Warriors relegation to the RFU Championship at the end of the 2009/2010 season, Abbott signed a one-year deal committing his future to helping the Warriors regain premiership rugby, but his efforts were cut short as he suffered a severe knee Injury in October 2010. Abbott was ruled out for the remainder of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury sidelining him for 6 months, having had a bright and promising start to the campaign.
In January 2011, it was confirmed that Abbott had committed a further two years to playing for the Worcester Warriors by signing a new deal which would keep him at the club until the end of the 2013 season.
