Club Career
Saville is one of the NBL's most versatile players and at times he is called upon to man any position on the court using a combination of size, strength and speed to handle whatever match-up the opposition throws his way. His career began at the AIS and after graduation he signed with the Wollongong Hawks in 1995. After an impressive rookie season he competed for Australia at the Junior World Championships. Saville continued to develop as a player was named as captain of the Hawks in 2000. A year later he led Wollongong to an NBL championship victory and was named as the Larry Sengstock Medalist for his efforts.
After twelve dominating years with the Hawks, Saville declined to sign with Wollongong and instead signed as a free agent with the Sydney Kings for the 07/08 NBL season. On 18 June 2008, the Wollongong Hawks announced that they had signed Saville after the termination of the Sydney Kings.
Saville had his iconic #12 singlet retired by the Wollongong Hawks upon the completion of the 2008/2009 season. He is one of only four Illawarra–Wollongong players to have received this honour.

“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
