Maddie began her relationship with hockey at school after a PE teacher saw her dramatic ducking and diving whilst fielding a game of rounders. She started her professional career at Exmouth HC, and from there worked her way up to an international debut in 2008. Maddie’s career has not always been smooth sailing however, after numerous set-backs at youth level and narrowly missing out on a place in the Great British Squad for the 2012 Olympic Games. Maddie graduated from Loughborough University with a degree in Sport & Exercise Science and has since been voted world’s best female goalkeeper on three occasions as well has having accumulated over 150 caps for England and Great Britain. She currently splits her time between Tilburg, Holland where she's playing in the Hoofdklasse after gaining promotion in the 21/22 season and Maidenhead, UK when she's on international duty.
