MADDEN MATES WITH TEAM MEMBERS

Scunthorpe's new striker Paddy Madden has made friends since he moved from Yeovil to the Lincolnshire club-at his home in Bawtry.

Madden,23,joined Scunny on a two-year-deal in January for an undisclosed fee along with Rovers player David Syers,who'd had a loan spell at Glandford Park.

Paddy has been talking to fellow countryman Paul Keegan,Liam Wakefield and Scunthorpe teammates Cris Ribeiro(who lives in Cantley) and Marcus Williams(who is from Doncaster).

"I talk to Cris and sometimes go to see him for a game of FIFA.I win all the time-his performances on pitch are better!Paul has been good to me and introduced me to David when he signed permanently,"Madden tells the Scunthorpe website.

"Yeovil was the team I made my name at.Former Doncaster players in Hayter and Webster helped me;I was Hayter's partner in the strike force there.My goal record was exceptional."

"I do thank Gary Johnson(Yeovil boss) for his belief in me and the others."

Madden has settled in to life in Bawtry quickly and hopes to enjoy life in Doncaster.
