The playmaker will play under ex-manager and team-mate Grant McCann once more. Will Maddison be ready to make the step up in the Championship?<\/p>\n<h2>Hull City Sign Marcus Maddison From Peterborough<\/h2>\n<h3>The Deal<\/h3>\n<p>Marcus Maddison arrives ready to seize his opportunity and make an impact in the Championship. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulldailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/marcus-maddison-hull-city-loan-3799270\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hull Live<\/a>, he may be in contention for tomorrow&#8217;s fixture. He will be available for Hull for the rest of the season. At the close of the season, Maddison will become a free agent. Thus, the club are able to make this move permanent should they wish to.<\/p>\n<p>He has been in terrific form this season for Posh, forming a dangerous attacking group with Ivan Toney and Mohamed Eisa. The Posh talisman has scored nine league goals this season.<\/p>\n<p>He is unproven in the Championship, but he is certainly ready to make the step up. Several Championship sides have been chasing the Peterborough player with Posh chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itv.com\/news\/anglia\/2020-01-13\/peterborough-united-accept-charlton-athletic-bid-for-marcus-maddison\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darragh MacAnthony confirming the club had accepted several bids<\/a> for the playmaker.<\/p>\n<p>Maddison has been with Peterborough since 2014 and has made over 200 appearances for the club and certainly, he will be a huge loss should he go. However, Posh found a replacement in Sammie Szmodics who is already excelling at the club.<\/p>\n<h3>Career So Far<\/h3>\n<p>The 26-year-old started his career with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newcastle United<\/a>, having been born in nearby Durham. However, he never made a senior appearance for the Magpies and was sent out on loan once to non-league outfit Blyth Spartans.<\/p>\n<p>He left Newcastle for Scotland, joining St Johnstone. However, he again failed to make a single appearance for the club, so moved back to the North East of England to join Gateshead.<\/p>\n<p>He spent one full season with the National League side, impressing with 13 goals in 34 appearances and winning the league&#8217;s Player of the Month award for January 2014. After scoring four goals in the first five games of the 2014\/15 season, he was snapped up by Peterborough for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chroniclelive.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/wonderkid-marcus-maddison-says-naivety-7683172\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported fee of \u00a3250,000<\/a>, which had the potential to double to \u00a3500,000.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ZTFRHUR1Tn5c7IaEhwmFig\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1091906432\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ZTFRHUR1Tn5c7IaEhwmFig',sig:'_x3vohdvksgbZCxAUVwiD7y7JW6JlcImWqMB79QajkA=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1091906432',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hull City have made the loan signing of Marcus Maddison from Peterborough United.
