He won the National League under Justin Edinburgh at Leyton Orient three years ago, playing in League 2 the following season, while other former clubs include Chester, Tranmere and Forest Green.

Alabi, a former Stoke City youth player, also had a loan spell at Dover, and was close to joining Ebbsfleet four years ago.

Maidstone first came up against the big forward during his time at Chester, shortly after promotion to the National League.

He scored but was later sent off for a challenge on Lee Worgan as United won 3-1 at the Deva Stadium for their first win of the 2016/17 season.

That campaign proved to be the most prolific of Alabi's career, finishing with 17 goals, to earn a move to Tranmere.
