Ex-Charlton and Millwall player Madelene Wright signs for a new club while making a reported amount of £500k a year on OnlyFans.
After a bit of time out, the OnlyFans member is back on the pitch with Leyton Orient Women making her the newest addition of their squad and has already got a goal to her name as an O’s player.
She scored a screamer on her debut having been named on the substitutes’ bench for Orient’s 4-2 victory over Cheshunt in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Her club wrote: “Madeline Wright scores the O’s fourth just minutes after coming on to the pitch with an absolute screamer into the top corner!”
And their tweet went viral, being seen over 4 million times as well as over 15,000 likes.
63′ WHAT A GOAL!!!

She first drew attention after posting raunchy photos, and even admitted last year that she had made almost £500,000 from selling the X-rated content after she had been sacking by Charlton in December 2020.
She had been left devastated after photos emerged of the blonde beauty inhaling from a balloon at a party and swigging champagne while driving her Range Rover on a night out with friends in 2019.
But the scandal put her in the public eye and now she has a career in social media influencing if that’s what they call it these days.
Now, her Instagram followers have risen to over 325,000 followers from the 25,000 she had during at the Addicks.
And now brands are reportedly queuing up for a piece of her, and she lives a lifestyle travelling around the globe in luxury.
Madelene made the decision to sign up to OnlyFans – a website that allows content makers to monetise images and videos from subscribing followers.
She has earned £500,000 since joining the controversial site – more than any pro footballer in the women’s game at this point in time.
Maddie remained hopeful she could return to life as a professional footballer, a year after she was sacked from her previous club.
Wright received a phone call from her team manager, who told her what was coming, before the club chairman delivered the news he was cancelling her contract.
Recalling the incident, Madelene told SunSport: “I was young, I was messing around with friends, and I didn’t really understand the position I was in and responsibility I had.
“I loved Charlton, my coaches and team mates so the decision left me heartbroken.
“When you play for a football team, they become your family so to step away from that was hard.
“After I was sacked, I started thinking if I would be able to play football again, what level I’d be able to play, and will other teams want me at their club.
“When it all happened, I also understood how many people I had let down.
“I used to coach at a young girls’ academy and the kids looked up to me and always asked me for advice.
“I felt guilty, embarrassed and disappointed in myself that I showed myself in that light.”
Clothing brands and swimsuit companies got in touch.
Madelene revealed: “With what happened, it did open up a lot of doors for me in other industries.
“And It happened very quickly, a lot of brands started getting in touch.
“A couple of clothing brands, bikini companies, and some sports companies wanted to work with me.
“One company even offered me a football boot deal.
“It was almost like one career had ended, while another one was just beginning.”
“I had a lot of hate on social media from people telling me I should be ashamed of what I did and I’ll never be a footballer again,” she said.
“It wasn’t nice. I am a strong person and tend not to let things bother me, but I admit it did have an affect on me.
“All I could think was that everyone in the football world hated me.
“After time, I just learned to ignore the horrible comments and messages I was getting and now I don’t read them.”
While Instagram provided Madelene with a platform to showcase her personality and good looks, it has also given the Londoner an opportunity to monetise her popularity.
She provides content that tantalises fans – with photos and videos wearing bikinis, football tops and lingerie, seen as a harmless bit of fun.
However, Madelene had reservations in joining OnlyFans which had developed a reputation for showing pornography and allegedly allowing prostitutes to solicit sex.
“My main reason not to do it was the reputation it had,” Wright explained. “I didn’t want to be associated with that kind of thing.
“But when you weigh up the pros and cons, and after doing it for a full year, I know I made the right decision.
“It was and still is a concern for me because I don’t want people getting that kind of perception about me.”
Financially, it has done Wright a lot of good and it’s changed her life.
“In the first year I made in the ballpark of half a million pounds,” Wright divulged. “I can’t lie, it has completely changed my life.
“I was able to get my own place, I have been able to travel the world and have enjoyed a lot of luxurious things.”
Despite money rolling in, Wright doesn’t see her being on OnlyFans for much longer it seems. Eventually, she thinks it will be a stepping stone to greater things.
“I want to start my own business and became an entrepreneur and step away from the stereotype and be looked at as a business woman,” she said.
“The main thing for me is to get into property, which is something I’ve always wanted to do since I was a footballer. I want to build an empire.
“For me, I think it is important for everyone to realise that you can start again.
“When my scandal happened I thought that was it and I didn’t know how I was going to move past it.
“But, there’s always a new day and always a fresh start. Everyone has a past, you can’t change it.
“As long as you learn from your mistakes, make the right moves going forward, there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
