TIMMY ABRAHAM is making his own way in football out of the shadow of older brother Tammy.
The Maidstone striker, 23, joined the club on loan from Boreham Wood in December in a deal which runs until the end of this month.
He will now be cheering his current side on as they face Championship promotion chasers Ipswich in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The Stones are the lowest-ranked side left in this season’s tournament after beating Chesham, Barrow and Stevenage in the competition proper.
Although Abraham is cup-tied, after playing in Boreham Wood’s first round loss to Eastleigh, he will be hoping Maidstone can pull off another upset.
The National League South side are managed by ex-Wolves defender George Elokobi.

He went on to have loan spells with Bristol Rovers, Plymouth, Raith Rovers and Newport, before joining Walsall in 2022.
