Brakes are likely to make further new signings soon following the arrivals of Craig Bellingham, Jai Stanley and Luke Corbett.
Top scorer Ben Mackey, captain Arron Parkinson and strikers Martin Thompson and Justin Marsden have all left the New Windmill and further departures cannot be ruled out as Jason Cadden rebuilds his squad for a second crack at the BGB Southern League Division One Midlands title.
Former loan forward Marsden has followed Mackey and Parkinson to Premier Division Brackley Town after cutting his ties with AFC Telford United, while Thompson has gone to Bedworth United.
Cadden acted quickly to replace Mackey by bringing in Bellingham from Stourbridge, where he scored 145 goals in 169 appearances.
Such remarkable form earned him the Midland Alliance Golden Boot award for 48 league goals in 2005/06, when he scored 61 in all competitions.
Bellingham missed much of the Glassboys' promotion-winning season with a broken leg, although he still made an impact early in the campaign and scored twice to knock Brakes out of the FA Cup in September.
His former clubs include Chelmsford City, Cheltenham Town, Halesowen Town, West Midlands Police, Sutton Coldfield Town and Bromsgrove Rovers.
The New Windmill strike force has been further bolstered by the arrival of Luke Corbett. The former Cheltenham Town pro scored 21 goals for Southern League rivals Bishops Cleeve last season.
Coventry-born Stanley has arrived from Atherstone Town, having also played for Telford, Worcester City and Moor Green. The experienced midfielder played an important role in the Adders' Midland Alliance title win.
