The Magpies have seen a trio of important stars leave this close season.
Sam Barrett has joined Southend United while Harry Pritchard has been given a chance by Blackpool.
Striker Sean Marks has stepped back into the Isthmian League and returned to Essex to sign for AFC Hornchurch.
Now they have made a move of their own.
Ayo Obileye, the towering central defender, has arrived at York Road after signing from Eastleigh.
Alan Devonshire says his strength in both boxes was a key factor in the West Ham legend making his move.
Obileye won’t be the last player through the door at Maidenhead this summer.
The manager suggests more movement is in the offing as he prepares the club for their second season in the National League.
