Club career
Born in Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Abad graduated from CD Tenerife's youth setup. He made his debuts as a senior with the reserves in the 2013–14 campaign in Tercera División, while still a junior.{{cite web|url=http://www.eldorsal.com/index.php/cd-tenerife/hemerotecacdt/4213-carlos-abad-hernandez-debuta-en-el-cd-tenerife.html|title=Carlos Abad-Hernández debuta en el CD Tenerife|trans-title=Carlos Abad-Hernández debuts in CD Tenerife|publisher=El Dorsal|language=es|date=16 November 2014|accessdate=17 November 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141120100227/http://www.eldorsal.com/index.php/cd-tenerife/hemerotecacdt/4213-carlos-abad-hernandez-debuta-en-el-cd-tenerife.html|archivedate=20 November 2014}}
Initially a fourth-choice goalkeeper at the start of 2014–15, Abad profited from Jacobo Sanz's departure and Nauzet Santana's serious injury, being promoted to Roberto's backup.{{cite web|url=http://www.laopinion.es/deportes/2014/11/21/carlos-abad-reto-vida/576413.html|title=Carlos Abad, ante el reto de su vida|trans-title=Carlos Abad, facing the challenge of his life|publisher=La Opinión de Tenerife|language=es|date=21 November 2014|accessdate=22 November 2014}} On 16 November 2014 he played his first match as a professional, replacing the latter due to injury in a 0–2 away loss against UE Llagostera in the Segunda División championship.{{cite web|url=http://www.marca.com/2014/11/16/futbol/2adivision/1416169613.html|title=Pitu da vida a la Llagostera y mete en problemas al Tenerife|trans-title=Pitu gives life to Llagostera and puts Tenerife into troubles|publisher=Marca|language=es|date=16 November 2014|accessdate=22 November 2014}}
On 24 July 2015 Abad extended his contract with the Blanquiazules until 2020,{{cite web|url=https://www.clubdeportivotenerife.es/noticias/carlos-abad-ampla-su-vinculacin-y-ser-blanquiazul-las-prximas-cinco-temporadas |title=Carlos Abad amplía su vinculación y será blanquiazul las próximas cinco temporadas |trans-title=Carlos Abad extends his link and will be blanquazul for the following five seasons |publisher=CD Tenerife |language=es |date=24 July 2015 |accessdate=29 July 2015 }} and was loaned to Real Madrid Castilla five days later, for two years.{{cite web|url=http://www.clubdeportivotenerife.es/noticia/carlos-abad-hernndez-cedido-dos-temporadas-al-real-madrid |title=Carlos Abad-Hernández cedido dos temporadas al Real Madrid |trans-title=Carlos Abad-Hernández loaned two seasons at Real Madrid |publisher=CD Tenerife |language=es |date=29 July 2015 |accessdate=29 July 2015 }} He returned to the Blanquiazules for the 2017–18 campaign, but acted as a backup to Dani Hernández. On 23 August 2018, he was loaned to fellow second division side Córdoba CF,{{cite web|url=http://www.cordobacf.com/noticia/comunicado-oficial-54|title=Comunicado oficial|trans-title=Official announcement|publisher=Córdoba CF|language=es|date=23 August 2018|access-date=26 August 2018}} and became a first-choice mainly due to the club's poor financial situation.
On 3 July 2019, Abad extended his contract until 2022 and was immediately loaned to Super League Greece side Xanthi FC for one year.{{cite web|url=https://www.clubdeportivotenerife.es/noticias/carlos-abad-amplia-su-contrato-y-jugara-cedido-en-el-xanthi-fc|title=Carlos Abad amplía su contrato y jugará cedido en el Xanthi FC|trans-title=Carlos Abad extends his contract and will play on loan at Xanthi FC|publisher=CD Tenerife|language=es|date=3 July 2019|accessdate=17 July 2019}}
He finished the season by being the goalkeeper who made more saves in the league, making 70 saves (four more than Asteras Tripoli's Nikos Papadopoulos), conceding only 27 goals and picking up six clean sheets.{{cite web|url=https://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/slgr-regular-season-review-five-solid-shot-stoppers |title=SLGR REGULAR SEASON REVIEW: FIVE SOLID SHOT-STOPPERS |publisher=www.agonasport.com|date=23 March 2020}}
