The 25-year-old- the least known of three semi-pro footballing brothers from Wythenshawe has found the net four times in West's three cup ties so far to earn a glamour home tie against former Football League club Darlington from three levels above.
It is the biggest game in West's history - they were only elected to the North West Counties Football League in 2012 with the match at The Step Places Stadium expected to be an all-ticket 1,320 sellout.
Likewise, it will be the first time that Abadaki has tested himself against an opponent of the calibre of the Quakers.
It has been a meteoric rise for the striker, a qualified electrician who is studying to be a building surveyor while managing a branch of McDonald's. Until last season, Abadaki only played for fun at Baguley Athletic in the Manchester Football League and had no aspirations to emulate his brothers.
But after scoring 52 goals in 49 games for Baguley, he was persuaded to join Step 6 side Maine Road.
Contract
Predictably then, Abadaki admits he will be pinching himself when he lines up against Darlington.
"I have never played against a team so high in the pyramid, so it will be a challenge to see what it is like playing at a higher level," he told The NLP.
