Gateshead full-back Robbie Tinkler has Danny Searle’s eighth summer signing.
He missed just one National League game last season and will add steel to the Shots back-line.
Searle made signing numbed seven moments before.
Scottish striker Connor Shields has been added to their ranks.
The 21-year-old former Sunderland player also moves down south to join up with the Hampshire club.
New manager Searle has urged his players to make the most of their reprieve from relegation.
The team finished in the bottom four but live to fight another day as Gateshead instead went down.
“We need to be ready and make sure we learn and progress as a club,” the new EBB boss said.
