His main position was in midfield, but has played in all outfield positions during his career. ==Playing career== {{Expand section|date=December 2009}} He signed as a trainee with [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] in 1984 and stayed with them until 1997 when he made a £250,000 transfer to [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]]. At Middlesbrough he spent time on loan to Bansley and Bristol City. Then he went back to his home town club, Darlington Fc. From there he has gone on to do coaching the youth in Darlington and also is in the centre of excellence role. ==Coaching career== On 30 September 2006, [[David Hodgson (footballer)|David Hodgson]] was suspended by the club following a run of poor results and a possible approach from [[A.F.C. Bournemouth|AFC Bournemouth]], leaving Maddison and [[Martin Gray (footballer)|Martin Gray]] in joint temporary caretaker charge for up to two weeks while an internal investigation was carried out. On 5 January 2007, Darlington agreed to end Maddison's playing contract so he could concentrate on being youth coach full time. In February 2008 after [[Mick Tait]] had left Darlington, Maddison took over the role as reserve team coach with [[Craig Liddle]] taking the role of youth team coach. On 8 May 2009 it was revealed that Darlington's administrators Brackenbury Clark and Company had released the majority of the first-team squad from their contracts to cut costs, with immediate effect, as well as the club's coaching staff and administrative staff including caretaker manager Martin Gray, leaving [[Craig Liddle]] and Maddison as joint temporary caretaker managers.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/d/darlington/8039511.stm|title=Quakers Forced to Release Players|work=bbc.co.uk|accessdate= 8 May 2009 | date=8 May 2009}}</ref> Since 20 May 2009, Maddison has been working as Darlington's centre of excellence manager. After [[Colin Todd]] was dismissed from Darlington he was appointed to assist [[Craig Liddle]] as temporary caretaker assistant manager as Liddle was appointed temporary caretaker manager. On 5 October it was announced that former [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Republic of Ireland]] manager [[Steve Staunton]] took over as the new permanent manager until the end of that season as well as bringing in Staunton the club bought in an assistant to him who was former [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] coach [[Kevin Richardson]] coming in on the same deal as Staunton. The pair started their job roles later on that week after Liddle finished off his temporary caretaker manager role and his assistant Maddison finished off his temporary caretaker assistant manager role after the [[Football League Trophy]] tie against [[Leeds United A.F.C.|Leeds United]] earlier that week, but the new pair's first game as the football management was against [[Dagenham & Redbridge F.C.|Dagenham & Redbridge]] later that week in [[Football League Two|League Two]].
