Paddy was an integral part of a WFTA side that swept all before them at youth level, including the all-Ireland under-16 Barry Cup against Bohs in May 2007. An Ireland underage international,[1] this Chanel College pupil was also called up as an Ireland schools international.
Madden signed league forms with the Gypsies on July 8, 2008 and became a prolific scorer in Bohemians "A" Team which reached the Grand Final of the A League.[2] He made his Bohemians first team debut as a substitute in their 2-0 win over Cobh Ramblers on November 8, 2008.[3]
Prior to the start of the 2009 season, Madden joined Shelbourne on loan on February 10, 2009.[4] Bohemians manager Pat Fenlon sent the young striker out on loan hoping for Madden to gain vital first team experience. Madden made an immediate impression for Shelbourne by impressing in pre-season and he scored in his first competitive appearance for Shels in their opening First Division match against Wexford Youths at Tolka Park on March 6, 2009.[5] He also achieved a distinct feat by scoring against his own employers for Shelbourne during an EA Sports Cup 2nd round tie at Dalymount Park on May 4, 2009.[6] Madden's loan spell at Shelbourne concluded on June 29, 2009 and he promptly returned to Bohemians.[7] During his loan spell at Shelbourne, Madden made 16 league and cup appearances and scored 8 goals.
On September 29, 2009 Madden scored his first goal for Bohs in a 1-0 victory over Derry City in the Brandywell which led to Bohs returning to the top of the league. Paddy scored the first of 3 in Bohs' 3-0 win against Sligo Rovers on the 30 October 2009 which put Bohs on course for their eleventh league title.
After a slow start to the 2010 season, Madden burst into form during the summer when he scored 9 goals in just 5 matches. This form was recognised when he was voted the Soccer Writers Association of Ireland Player of the Month for June.[8]
In the month of October 2010 Madden was linked with a move to Scottish giants Celtic. According to the BBC's website.[9] However, on Monday 31 January he signed for English League One side Carlisle United.[10]
After a fine season with Bohs, Paddy capped it off by making his Republic of Ireland under-21 debut against Armenia in November 2009.[11]
