In his early years he played locally at Hillsborough Boy's Club [5] and went on to the Rotherham United youth team.
Rabjohn signed professional for 2nd Division side Rotherham United, with his debut in 1965.

[4] He also appeared in the side that season that lost 2–0 away to Liverpool in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. [4]
After making a total of 169 League and Cup appearances, scoring 9 goals, it was at the end of the 1972–73 season that Rabjohn was released on a free transfer with Northampton Town being an interested party at the time. [9]
