Born in Louth, Lincolnshire, England, Savage played for Stewton F.C. and Lincoln City F.C. before he was bought by Liverpool manager George Patterson in May 1931. He made his debut on 26 September 1931 in a First Division match at Anfield. Grimsby Town F.C. were the visitors and were comfortably beaten 4–0. Savage scored twice, in the 66th and 82nd minutes (Gordon Hodgson also scored twice, in the 26th and 85th minutes). Savage was able to get the chance to score the goals as he was played in the forward line instead of his usual position of wing-half.
The two strikes against Grimsby were the only goals he would score during his time at Liverpool. In fact, Savage struggled to hold down a starting role for the Anfield club, his best seasons were the 1934–35 and 1935–36 seasons where he played in 54 of the 84 matches, 27 in each season. Although Savage was mainly used as a 'bit part' player during other campaigns, he put together 105 appearances, 100 of which were in the league.
