Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Top Defender Out-Earns Top Forward

In a surprising wage structure, the club's highest-paid defender, Luke McNally (€1.3M), earns more than the highest-paid forward, Delano Burgzorg (€1.2M).

Top Defenders Paid More Than Top Midfielders

The combined salary of the top three defensive earners (Luke McNally, Cameron Pring, Rob Atkinson) is over €3.1M. This is significantly more than the combined salary of the top three midfield earners (Joe Williams, Jason Knight, Scott Twine), which totals approximately €2.8M.

Four Players Earn Less Than One Veteran

The combined annual salaries of four players (Josh Campbell-Slowey, E. Yeboah, Adam Murphy, and Lewis Rhys Thomas) total approximately €346K. This is less than the single salary of 34-year-old midfielder Sam Morsy (€360K).

Midfield Pair Earn Identical Salaries
