Paddy Madden signed for Fleetwood Town from Scunthorpe United for an undisclosed fee in January 2018. The Irishman enjoyed three-and-a-half years in Lancashire. He scored 53 times in 149 games before leaving to join Stockport County.
After departing Edgley Park upon the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, Madden joined the Spireites ahead of their first season back in the EFL. His campaign was disrupted by injury, but the 35-year-old did manage to bag six times in 29 appearances.
