Jide Maduako signed a professional contract at Leicester City in 2012 but almost a decade later owns a £5 million pound mansion after failing to form a career in football

Ex-Leicester City youngster Jide Maduako has certainly made the most of a life away from football having failed to make the grade as a professional.

In 2012, the 26-year-old broke through at then-Championship outift Ipswich Town; Maduako was offered a two-year apprenticehip as a scholar aged 15.

Having been released by the Suffolk-based club, the Englishman signed for Leicester City forming a part of their Under-21 Premier League development squad.

There he became a key member of a group that eclipsed the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United to win the title but Maduako was released for a second-time in May 2013.

Despite not making a name for himself in the world of football, the same can't be said about his social media presence.

Maduako runs management agency Yoke Network who are famous on TikTok for their short videos at the Wave House mansion.

The £5 million pound pad is the home of several high-profile influencers with housemates often seen pranking each other and completing challenges.

Boasting an audience larger than four million on TikTok, Maduako was recently interviewed by Channel 4 for their 'Kathy Burke: Money Talks' documentary:

"I come up three times a week - but I still live at home!

"We turn over a few million, which I'm smiling about. But in business you know that money's not in the bank all at one time.

"But we turnover a few million each year. I don't own this gaffe yet, but I know that I will. It's just a matter of time."

To be fair to Maduako you can see why he would want to own it; the £5 million mansion includes 13-acres of land, a swimming pool, gym, library, spa and a 100-inch TV which cost almost £30,000.
