Savage's final Liverpool outing came in a league game at Molineux Stadium on 16 October 1936 with Wolverhampton Wanderers running out 2–0 winners. Savage was allowed to leave Anfield for rivals Manchester United F.C. midway through the 1937–38 season. He went on to become a journeyman playing for Wrexham A.F.C. in North Wales, Carlisle United F.C. in Cumbria, West Ham United F.C., Chelsea and Fulham F.C. in London. All this travelling added to spells in Lincolnshire, Merseyside and Lancashire.
