After coming off from the bench to assist Shaun Miller for Coventry City's only goal in a 3-1 defeat to Bristol City at the Ricoh Arena, Maddison was handed his first league start for the following league game away to Oldham Athletic. Maddison went on to score his first league goal for Coventry City with a free-kick in the first-half, his efforts were in vain as the Sky Blues went on to lose the game 4-1. On 24 November 2014 the club announced they had offered the player his first professional contract, lasting three and a half years.^[4]

Maddison missed a large portion of the 2014/15 season after being sent-off during a Boxing Day defeat to Doncaster Rovers before picking up a back injury.^[5][6] Maddison returned to the first-team as a substitute during a 0-0 draw with Notts County in April 2015.^[7] Maddison grew into an increasingly important role in the team towards the end of the 2014-15 season which was capped off with a winning goal on the final-day against Crawley Town.^[8]

2015–16

After continuing to impress Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray over the following pre-season, James Maddison was handed the number 10 jersey for the 2015/16 season.^[9]
