The 27-year-old striker spent last season with Penney at Darlington, where he netted 17 goals in 32 starts, making a further 13 appearances from the bench. Abbott told the club's official website: "The fact that I've worked with the manager before was one of the main reasons behind me coming here. "He's a no-nonsense character which suits me well and I like the training sessions he and Martin Gray put together. "I know what the manager is all about and I know I and the other players will enjoy working with him." Abbott is Penney's fifth signing of the summer, joining Rob Purdie, Jonathan Worthington, Joe Jacobson and Sean Gregan.
