Acquah re-joined Maidenhead on loan on 13 March 2020.[7] He was released by Southend at the end of the 2020–21 season,[8] before re-joining Maidenhead permanently.[9] Acquah found form in his second full season at York Road, scoring 13 goals in the National League[citation needed] before a debut for England C on 21 March 2023.[10] He won the players' player of the year award for the 2022–23 season and was also top scorer.[11]
