Defender explains why he snubbed Liverpool’s contract offer in favor of Newcastle United move.
Savage fought his way up to under-23s level after he was part of the Reds side that lifted the FA Youth Cup in 2019 – overcoming Manchester City on penalties.
He was highly considered at Liverpool, as revealed in their one-year prolongation offer, however, the player has revealed why he jumped at the chance to move to Tyneside.
Savage told NUFC.co.uk:
“It’s a new challenge and it’s good to maybe get out of my comfort zone and move to a new club – and a massive club as well. Hopefully I can show everyone what I’ve got, and progress with Newcastle.

Savage played with the likes of first-teamers Curtis Jones, Neco Williams, and Rhys Williams at Anfield.
He added:
“There are a few who have made their first team, and I’m happy to see that – hopefully I can do the same at Newcastle.”
Savage also has the expertise of playing in the U19 UEFA Youth League and the Papa John’s Trophy last season.
