George Alan Saville (born 1 June 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Saville began his senior career with Chelsea but did not make a first team appearance. His first professional games came on loan at Millwall and Brentford respectively before he joined his current club in August 2014.

He and his brother Jack both attended Collingwood College, Surrey.
Born in Camberley, Saville came through the Chelsea Academy, having been there since 2004, when Brendan Rodgers came to Chelsea from Reading. His older brother Jack also joined Chelsea. He was part of the Chelsea reserve side that won the FA Youth Cup in 2010, having first played at that level on 23 March 2010 in a 2–1 Premier Reserve League South defeat against Fulham. In July 2010 he signed his first professional contract but only featured in reserve team action, winning the 2010–11 Premier Reserve League after a play-off victory over Blackburn.
He signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract in January 2012, and ended the year with his first involvement with the first team: Appearing as an unused substitute in two League Cup ties and also during the Club World Cup in Japan.
In February 2013, Saville joined Championship side Millwall on a loan deal until the end of the season. Here, he made his senior debut on 2 March against Leeds United. He made two further appearances for the Lions during this spell.
