On 5 March 2009, he joined Tranmere Rovers on a one-month loan deal.[9] Tranmere manager Ronnie Moore was reported to say: "He is a hard working winger with the ability to go past people and has a trick up his sleeve." Two days later, on 7 March 2009, he was handed his League One debut against Northampton Town, where he set up a goal for Bas Savage.[10] After the match, Manager Moore praised Mayor performance, citing he "direct, took people on and played a great ball in for the goal."[11] After making three appearances, Mayor returned to Preston, where manager Alan Irvine believed that the loan move to Tranmere Rovers made him "grow up", due to giving him "more confidence".[12]
