Crewe Alexandra, Leicester City, Birmingham City, Derby County, Brighton & Hove Albion and NWCFL First Division South side Stockport Town - what do they all have in common?

Well we can reveal that Adam Jones' side have announced the signing of former Premier League midfielder Robbie Savage. The 45-year old made 623 professional appearances during his career, scoring 41 times in his 15-year career, and now he is set to make his debut tomorrow evening when they face FC Oswestry Town in the league.

Manager Adam Jones is delighted with the signing, "Sav is well involved with Pro Football Academy (Owners of Stockport Town) and we've spoken a couple of times about the prospect of turning out for Stockport Town.

"I am trying to create a blend within the dressing room of young hungry lads and experience, and who can be better placed to guide and support the young lads than Sav.

"So when he said he'd be interested in putting his boots on it was a no brainer for me."
