Forest Green Rovers have signed Swansea City forward Jordon Garrick for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old was recalled from a loan spell at Lincoln City to complete the move to the New Lawn.

Garrick, who scored once in 16 appearances for the Imps, has agreed an 18-month deal.

"He's an attacking player who can play anywhere across the front three," head coach Ian Burchnall told the Forest Green website.

"He adds pace and directness into the team. He came really well recommended from those at Swansea and he's had a couple of loans already, so we're pleased to get him in."

Forest Green are bottom of League One, nine places below Lincoln, but are at home to Birmingham City in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

"The way the head coach wanted to get the move done straight away showed how serious he is about me as a player," said Garrick.

Manchester United youngster Charlie Savage has agreed a loan deal with League One strugglers Forest Green Rovers until the end of the season.

Savage made his first-team debut for United in the Champions League last season and went on the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.

After half a season in the Under-21s, he has opted to join Forest Green from a number of loan inquiries.

The 19-year-old is the son of former Wales international Robbie Savage.

The teenager believes he will benefit from his exposure to senior football.

Having already been capped at Under-21 level, it has been suggested that if he impresses with Forest Green, who are currently bottom of the table, he will come to the attention of Wales boss Rob Page.

He is the son of former Wales international Robbie Savage.

"I'm buzzing to be here," Savage told the club website.

"As soon as I found out Forest Green were interested, I just wanted to get down and get started.

"I loved the sound of the club - and I actually came down here last season for work experience under Rob Edwards. I know the people and the place really well."

Onyango, 19, joined Everton's academy aged eight where he worked with new Forest Green head coach Duncan Ferguson.

He has been capped by England at under-17 level and made his debut for the Toffees in January 2021.

Onyango spent the first half of this season on loan at Rovers' League One rivals Burton, where he made 24 appearances.
