Playing career
Abram started his career at Warrington, making one appearance in 1987.[4] In 1988, he spent a month on loan at Swinton,[5] before being transferred to Chorley Borough later that year.
Darren Abram played, and scored a try in Rochdale Hornets 14–24 defeat by St. Helens in the 1991 Lancashire Cup Final during the 1991–92 season at Wilderspool Stadium, Warrington, on Sunday 20 October 1991.
Coaching career
Abram cut his coaching teeth with Chorley Lynx in National League Two and was taken on by the Leigh Centurions, with a view to taking them into the Super League, in October 2003.[6] He accomplished this in his first season as Leigh Centurions beat Whitehaven in a dramatic National League One Grand Final. Leigh Centurions' Super League season of 2005, however, proved a disaster and the club were relegated after winning just two games, with Abram leaving in August 2005.[7] He was appointed Rochdale Hornets' coach in November 2005, as successor to Bobbie Goulding, who had resigned two weeks earlier.[8] Abram parted company from Rochdale Hornets in July 2007.
Personal life
