He was named as Conference Premier Player of the Month in January 2014.[6] He saw a reignition to his career and scored 13 league goals for Gateshead in 34 league appearances.

Peterborough

After scoring 4 goals in his first 5 games of the 2014/15 season for Gateshead, 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

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

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.

— Gateshead manager Gary Mills speaking in August 2014.[11]

Maddison is also a freekick specialist, he describes his unusual freekick technique as use the side of your foot, but you're hitting it more with your heel. If you hit with the middle of the side of your foot it just curls. If you hit it the way I do, it goes straight and moves at the same time [10]
