Zema Abbey (born April 17, 1977 in Luton) is an English former professional footballer who plays as a striker. He currently plays for Barton Rovers. He has a degree in Sports Science and Leisure Management from Luton University.
Abbey began his career with Hitchin Town from where he joined Cambridge United in February 2000.
He soon established himself in the Cambridge side, earning a £350,000 move to Norwich City in December 2000. However his time at Carrow Road was marred by two career threatening knee injuries, causing him to miss most of the 2003-04 promotion season, though he was given a championship medal at the end of the season. He was given a three month contract to prove his fitness at the start of the following season. He spent September 2004 on loan at Boston United, moving to Wycombe Wanderers on a free transfer the following month. In November 2004 he moved to Bradford City and in March 2005 to Torquay United, but was released at the end of the 2004-05 season.
He joined Forest Green Rovers in August 2005, playing 26 times before being released in April 2006.
He joined Kettering Town in August 2006 in time for the start of the 2006-07 Conference North season, but was released in November.
In January 2007 he signed for Barton Rovers
His younger brother Nathan is also a professional footballer, playing as a goalkeeper.
