Former Wolverhampton defender George Elokobi signs for ...
The 33-year-old was transfer listed in January by Leyton Orient
www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.comHere’s the latest I can confirm based on available reporting:
-
George Elokobi is stepping down as Maidstone United manager at the end of the current season. The club cited financial pressures and a protracted takeover as factors influencing his decision, though he and his staff will see through the rest of the campaign. This marks the end of a seven-year spell at Maidstone, during which he served as player, captain, and manager, including guiding the team to a National League South title in 2021-22.[1]
-
Previously, Elokobi has had a long playing career across multiple clubs, including Wolves in the Premier League, with various stops in the lower leagues as both player and coach. His managerial role at Maidstone has been a notable chapter of his post-playing career.[3][4]
If you’d like, I can pull additional updates from specific outlets (e.g., Maidstone United announcements, National League South coverage) and summarize any new statements from the club or Elokobi beyond the end-of-season decision.
