Club career
Madigi broke into Ba's first team in 1985, and made his debut that year.[1] In 1986, he scored the winning goal in the Inter-District Championship against Nadroga FA.[1] In 1993, Madigi was suspended sine die from Ba for his role in a shoplifting spree during Fiji's tour of New Zealand in May.[2]
During his career, he was nicknamed "lethal Madigi" by commentators, thanks to his dangerous left foot.[3]
International career
At youth level, Madigi played for Fiji's under-19 team in 1985, during the team's tour of Australia.[3]
In total, Madigi made 14 appearances for the Fiji national team between 1986 and 1997.[4] His debut came on 17 September 1986, when he came on as a substitute in a 4–2 friendly loss against New Zealand at Churchill Park.[5] His first international goal came in November 1988, during Fiji's 1–0 win against Australia during the first round of 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification.[1][6]
