The mature-age ruckman only played one senior game for the Cats last season, but averaged 28 hit-outs and 15 disposals from 16 reserves matches to finish in the top-10 of Geelong VFL's best-and-fairest.
Abbott has mainly plied his trade in his new colours at reserves level, showcasing his ability to hold down the ruck post, swing forward and cover a significant area of the ground while helping develop young rucks Sam Alabakis and Jack Bell.
The big man has been a noticeable force in the club's scratch match outings, and after a string of consistent performances and being selected as a senior emergency five times, made his debut in Round 16 against Hawthorn.
Replacing rested key forward Max King, Abbott slotted a critical final-quarter goal on debut as the Saints secured the four points in Jarryn Geary's 200th game.
Abbott was originally selected by Geelong with pick No. 69 in the 2016 National Draft before crossing over to St Kilda at the end of 2019.
