Madison “Madi” Browne (born 5 January 1988) is an Australian netball player who has been one of the most successful Australian Netball players to play in the British Netball Superleague for Leeds Rhinos Netball.
Browne made her domestic league debut in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy in 2006, playing with the Melbourne Kestrels, before being signed by the Melbourne Vixens in 2008 to play in the ANZ Championship. She transferred to the West Coast Fever ahead of the 2009 season before rejoining the Vixens in 2011. Browne was awarded Most Valued Player at both the Fever and Vixens on two occasions. In 2012 Browne achieved an historic feat; sweeping clean all of netball Australia’s most highly regarded awards. Beginning with the ANZ Championship Player of the Year, followed by International Player of the Year and making her the clear winner of the Liz Ellis Diamond award.
In 2014 she helped the Melbourne Vixens claim their second ANZ Championship title after they defeated the Queensland Firebirds in the Grand Final. She topped the 2014 season off with making the Championship All Star Team at Wing Attack once again, as she had also held this position in 2013. The 2014 season saw Browne once again achieve something no Australian netballer has done, she became the first athlete to win the Liz Ellis Diamond award twice.
In the 2015 ANZ Championship season, Browne suffered an ACL tear during the final quarter of the Vixens Round 6 match against Fever.
During her comeback season in 2016 she was named captain of the Vixens. The classy style of game saw her come back to the court without missing a beat and she was awarded the ANZ Championship Australia Conference MVP in the 2016 season.
In 2017, Browne made the move to the new Melbourne-based club the Collingwood Magpies and became the inaugural captain of the team, a position she holds to this day. Browne was an integral player for the Magpies in their first two seasons, though she missed the entire 2019 season after undergoing surgery to repair her anterior cruciate ligament. She returned to the court in 2020 though played only some matches due to further injury concerns. She announced her departure from the club and league in September 2020.[2] She left Australian netball with two Liz Elliz Diamonds and two International Player of the Years awards, prompting her outgoing coach Rob Wright to label her the "finest midcourter" in Australian netball history.[2]
Browne came out of retirement shortly thereafter, announcing in November 2020 that she had signed with Leeds Rhinos Netball ahead of 2021 British season, in doing so becoming one of the Superleague's highest-ever profile signings.[3]
