Savage, who turned down the opportunity to link up with Wales’ Under-21s squad to focus on helping Forest Green stave off relegation from League One, played a key role as Duncan Ferguson’s side recorded a monumental victory over one of the promotion favourites in Sheffield Wednesday.
Savage started up front for Rovers at The New Lawn and played 94 minutes, only being substituted deep into injury time, with the home side all but across the line.
Jordon D’Andre Garrick opened the scoring in the 35th minute, turning home from close range, and that finish was ultimately enough to hand the hosts a valuable three points.
