Marcus Harley Maddison (born 26 September 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One side Peterborough United.
He began his career at Newcastle United, but did not play a senior game for the club. He was attached to Blyth Spartans and St. Johnstone, before scoring 13 Conference Premier goals for Gateshead in a 12-month period from August 2013. He was signed by Peterborough United for an undisclosed fee in August 2014.
Playing career
Maddison began his career at Newcastle United. He was loaned out to Blyth Spartans in November 2012,[2] where he scored once in two appearances.[3] He was released by Newcastle in 2013, with Reserve team manager Willie Donachie saying he had "a lot to learn".[4] He went on to play for Scottish club St. Johnstone.[5] He signed with Conference Premier club Gateshead in August 2013 following a successful trial. He was named as Conference Premier Player of the Month in January 2014.[6]
He was signed by Peterborough United in August 2014 for an undisclosed fee, signing a four-year contract; manager Darren Ferguson said that "he has good balance, skill, pace and we feel this could be a good signing".[7] The fee was a club-record for Gateshead (reported as £250,000 with the potential to rise to £500,000[8]), and manager Gary Mills said "he was a good player but could be selfish at times".[9]
Style of play
"He has an unbelievable talent, he wants to score goals and can score goals, with a magical left foot. On the other side, he works hard. Marcus was a selfish lad when I first came to the football club and now he's a match-winner and team player."
