Tranmere Rovers have completed a double swoop after signing Cork City midfielder George O'Callaghan and Millwall striker Bas Savage.

O'Callaghan, 28, has spent time in the Football League with the likes of Ipswich Town and Brighton, while 26-year-old Savage was available on a free transfer after leaving Millwall at the end of the last campaign.

Both players have put pen to paper on two-year contracts at Prenton Park.

"I'm really pleased with both signings," manager Ronnie Moore told the club's official website.

"George is a creative goalscoring midfielder. He is good on the ball, can pick out a pass and can shoot with either foot. He will add quality to the centre of our midfield.

"Bas is a big, strong centre forward who is excellent in the air. He's a very competitive player who leads the line well and creates chances for others.

"He's one of the best hold-up target players at this level and will give us something different to the strikers who are already at the club."
