Maddison hits century for Posh

Peterborough United's Marcus Maddison hit a personal landmark last weekend - a double and two assists meaning he has been involved in 100 League One goals for Posh since joining them five seasons ago.

The maverick left-footer scored a trademark free-kick in Peterborough's 4-2 win against Wycombe, adding another with his lesser-used right foot and also setting up both Matt Godden's goals to keep Posh in contention for promotion.

Since arriving at the ABAX Stadium from Gateshead prior to the 2014/15 season, Maddison has established himself as the undisputed champion of the assist: 62 league assists in five seasons putting him well clear of any player in the top 4 tiers over this period. 

With an undoubted eye for the spectacular, Maddison has also hit 38 goals since 2014/15 - an amazing 45% of those coming from outside the box.

It's a heck of a haul for the winger, who was put on the transfer list by Posh chairman Darragh McAnthony last summer, but stayed put after a heavily-touted move to Championship side Leeds United failed to materialise. 

With 12 assists to his name already in League One this season, Maddison is again underlining his undoubted quality - whether it will be enough to propel 7th-placed Posh to promotion, however, remains to be seen. 

Posh's next fixture pits them against struggling Bradford City in what is shaping up to be a must-win clash for both teams - for very different reasons.
