Named by Georgia State women's soccer head coach Ed Joyce as the team's assistant coach in July 2022, TK Abderahman joins the Panthers' coaching staff for the fall 2022 season. Abderahman enters his tenure with the Panthers' coaching staff having spent two seasons as a graduate assistant for women's soccer at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. prior to his arrival to Atlanta.

Abderahman helped coach the Bulldogs to 17 total wins in his two seasons as an assistant with The Citadel. His tenure with the team included a 2021 season that saw program bests for team goals, assists, points, fewest goals conceded, lowest goals against average per game, highest save percentage and most shutouts.

Prior to joining the staff at The Citadel, Abderahman spent one season coaching for Oceanside Collegiate Academy and worked in South Carolina Soccer Club's Junior Academy.

As a player, Abderahman competed for Gimo IF FK, a Division I Third Tier Pro club in Sweden. His collegiate tenure was spent at College of Charleston where he compiled over 4200 minutes played while playing under legendary head coach Ralph Lundy.

Lundy spent 33 years as the head coach for College of Charleston men's soccer where he led the Cougars to five conference titles and five appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

"TK is dedicated to growing players in life through our great game," Lundy said. "He has the rich experience of being a very good player at all levels and a tremendous coach who has studied how to develop players. Georgia State University and Coach Ed Joyce have a wonderful program for TK to continue to grow and help players and help continue the excellence of the strong Georgia State team."

Former College of Charleston assistant coach Tam McGowan also spoke highly of the Panthers' newest hire.

"TK will be a great addition for Georgia State," McGowan said. "He has a great personality and will bring a lot to the program in many different aspects. He cares a lot about the players that he works with and knows how to develop players both on and off the field. I am excited to see TK progress in his career and wish him and the program all the best."

Abderahman joins Joyce and the Panthers on the team's quest for the program's first Sun Belt Conference title. GSU has charted nine or more victories in each of the previous three seasons for the first time since 2003 and will look to improve on the recent success in the fall 2022 campaign.

"I am really excited to have TK join us here at Georgia State," Joyce said. "He brings a tremendous amount of passion to everything that he does and will bring a high level of energy to the program. TK possesses an unmatched work ethic, and I can't wait for him to hit the ground running here in Atlanta."

Abderahman is a native of Fort Mill, S.C.
