Early career
Abbaszadeh initiated his professional journey with Moghavemat Sari during the 2009–10 season of the Iran Football's 2nd Division. He did not participate in the 2010–11 season, remaining unattached to any club during that period.
Sanat Sari
In 2011, he transferred to Sanat Sari, where he found the net six times across 22 matches.
Nassaji Mazandaran
During the summer of 2012, Abbaszadeh secured a two-year deal with Nassaji, taking on the number 10 jersey. His first appearance came against Aboomoslem on 13 September 2012. He finished the season as the top scorer in the league, with an impressive tally of 18 goals in 23 games.
2013–14
Following his achievement as the leading scorer in the Azadegan League, Abbaszadeh attracted interest from several Iran Pro League clubs. Persepolis presented an offer comprising €125,000 (equivalent to 4 Billion Rials) upfront, along with sporting equipment worth 1 Billion Rials from Uhlsport. On 3 May 2013, he committed to a three-year contract with Persepolis. In pre-season friendlies, including a match against Arta Ardabil, he scored five goals in five games. His inaugural official goal arrived during a 2–0 victory over Sepahan in the 2013–14 Iran Pro League season. A crucial strike against Damash Gilan was instrumental in maintaining Persepolis' contention for the championship, although they ultimately finished as runners-up. Abbaszadeh concluded that season with five goals from thirteen appearances, averaging a goal every 125 minutes played. On 2 August 2014, he was honored as the Iran Pro League's best young player of the season.
2014–15
Abbaszadeh began the following season featuring for Persepolis in a 1–1 draw against Naft Tehran at Azadi Stadium. He opened his scoring account for that campaign by converting a penalty against Padideh.
Nassaji Mazandaran
In 2016, Abbaszadeh returned to Nassaji Mazandaran. That year, he pledged to net 24 goals in tribute to Hadi Nowruzi and successfully fulfilled this target. Serving as both captain and leading goal scorer in League One, his outstanding displays earned him fan-given nicknames such as Mr. Double, Goal Machine, and Shah Shahi.
