He brings a wealth of experience with 235 career appearances, including in the Premier League.
His permanent move follows the sale of Northern Ireland international Pierce Charles to Manchester City.
Maynard-Brewer, 27, has signed a one-year deal as a free agent, arriving less than 24 hours after the club secured Connal Trueman.
The former Charlton Athletic player has 70 league appearances and recent experience at Dundee United.
Optimism and Experience
Maynard-Brewer expressed his excitement about joining, stating, "I'm super happy to be here. It seems like a really positive environment.
I had a good chat with Darryl Flahavan last week and he just sounded so optimistic about the season."
He added, "I'm really excited about the next few weeks and really getting to work with the guys, they are very welcoming."

Sporting Director Simon Wilson highlighted Maynard-Brewer's experience, noting, "At 27, Ash has significant experience playing in the EFL, having spent eight seasons at Charlton Athletic.
He has been a part of successful teams – either as a number one or two – and tested himself in different environments through several development loans."
