SACKED Charlton Women’s star Madelene Wright has revealed she still dreams of becoming a professional footballer.
The blonde stunner, 23, was released by the South London club in 2020 after photos emerged of her inhaling from a balloon at a party and swigging champagne while at the wheel of her Range Rover on a night out.
Following an investigation by the club, Wright was let go and her football dreams were left in tatters.
Since the scandal, Madelene has gone to become a social media influencer and is raking in £500,000-per-year on OnlyFans.
She told SunSport about her heartbreaking sacking, the fear of letting family and friends down, and redemption becoming an overnight success story.
And she revealed she is still hopeful of career in the game.
“I haven’t given up on football,” she told SunSport EXCLUSIVELY.
“Up until December I trained with a professional coach because I want to keep my options open.
“Football is my passion and I dreamed of becoming a pro when I was a kid so it has a very big place in my heart.

“Right now, I have a lot of things going on business-wise. And being at the age I am, I have a responsibility to bring in income too.
“I would definitely get back into football if I can, but appreciate that the big clubs might not want me after what happened.”
Wright went to Wembley to watch the FA Women’s Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea last year.
Although she enjoyed the spectacle, she admitted seeing the action live evoked emotional memories.
“I miss playing,” she said.
“I went to watch a women’s game at Wembley recently, and as much as I loved it and was happy for the girls, there was a bit of sadness. It was hard to watch.”
