Jack Savage (Gaelic footballer)

Jake Savage is a Gaelic footballer. He plays for the Kerins O'Rahilly's club and at senior level for the Kerry county team. He came on as a blood substitute in the 2022 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. Kerry won that game, earning Savage an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal. As of 2023, he was reportedly "set to emigrate to Dubai" and would miss the 2023 season.[1]

He got involved in every 2022 National League game and then in the National Football League was one over Mayo and a sub for Paudie Clifford against Galway in the 2022 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.[2]

After he won he traveled with Kerins O'Rahilly's clubmate Cormac Coffey[3][4] to the Middle East. He is an attacker.[5]

His loss was a blow for Kerry's defence.[6][7][8]
