Tampa Bay Rowdies

Keith Savage signed with the Rowdies on January 29, 2015.

A native of the Florida Panhandle and University of West Florida graduate, Savage played the last four seasons with the Rowdies.

In four seasons in green and gold, Savage has made 96 appearances (87 starts) and scored 12 goals. His Rowdies debut came on April 10, 2011 at home in a 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact.

Savage, 29, began his professional career in 2009 and made six appearances for Chivas USA, the team that drafted him 43rd overall in the 2008 Major League Soccer SuperDraft.

Primarily a central midfielder, but capable of playing on the outside of midfield, Savage played for the Portland Timbers in USL-1 and the USSF Division II Pro League in 2009 and 2010, respectively. For the Timbers, Savage played 40 matches and scored three goals.

In his time with the Rowdies, Savage has developed into one of the NASL’s most reliable midfielders and a set piece specialist. Last season, Savage notched three assists for the Rowdies, two of which came directly from free kicks.
