Heaton Stannington are delighted to announce the loan signing of winger Dan Savage from South Shields.

The 20-year-old has made two substitute appearances for his parent in National League North already this season, and has previously had temporary spells at Hebburn Town and Blyth Spartans.

In his own words, he’s a “front-footed attacking player with loads of energy” known for his high workrate.

Upon signing for the club, Dan Savage said:

“I’m really excited to get going. There’s a real buzz around the club and the lads, and I’m thrilled to now be involved with that. The project is a very exciting one and I couldn’t let that slip by me. The club has huge ambitions and has a real strong chance of promotion. My role will be to contribute to that target every time I step onto the pitch.”

Manager Dean Nicholson said:

“I’m delighted to get Sav into the club. He’s a player Andy and I have been watching for a long time and we’ve tried a few times to bring him in. His quality, pace and style of play suits us, and his energy is something we are looking forward to seeing. Welcome to the club, Dan!”
