Patrick Madden (born 4 March 1990 in Dublin) is an Irish footballer currently playing for Yeovil Town on loan from Carlisle United having been signed from Bohemians. Madden plays as a striker.
Career
Madden signed league forms with the Gypsies on 8 July 2008 and became a prolific scorer in Bohemians "A" Team which reached the Grand Final of the A League.[1] He made his Bohemians first team debut as a substitute in their 2–0 win over Cobh Ramblers on 8 November 2008.[2]
Prior to the start of the 2009 season, Madden joined Shelbourne on loan on 10 February 2009.[3] 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 6 March 2009.[4] 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 4 May 2009.[5] Madden's loan spell at Shelbourne concluded on 29 June 2009 and he promptly returned to Bohemians.[6] During his loan spell at Shelbourne, Madden made 16 league and cup appearances and scored 8 goals.
On 29 September 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.[citation needed]
In the 2010 season, Madden 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.[7]
Madden on signed for English on 31 January 2012 League One side Carlisle United.[8]
On 4 October 2012, Madden joined League One club Yeovil Town on an initial one-month loan deal with a view to extend to gain some much needed pitch time after not featuring in Carlisle's starting league squad this season. He had scored 1 goal in 3 substitute appearences for the Cumbrians this campaign.[9] On 6 October 2012, he made his debut for Yeovil and scored a two goals in a 3–1 home victory against Colchester United.[10] After going on a run of five goals in five games, he extended his loan until the "new year".
International
