Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Midfielder Earns Less Than Third Goalkeeper

Central midfielder Josh Eccles earns €156K per year, making him the lowest-paid midfielder by a significant margin. His salary is less than half that of the third-choice goalkeeper, Ben Wilson (€340K), and also lower than the lowest-paid defender, Bobby Thomas (€374K).

Two Strikers' Pay Equals One Winger

The club's two centre-forwards, Haji Wright and Ellis Simms, are on identical salaries of €1.6M. Their combined annual wage of €3.2M is exactly equal to the salary of the team's highest-paid attacker, right-winger Loum Tchaouna.

Goalkeeper and Midfielder Out-earn Attackers

The club's two highest-paid players are a goalkeeper (Carl Rushworth) and a central midfielder (Caleb Yirenkyi), both earning €3.7M. This salary is higher than that of the top-earning attacker, right-winger Loum Tchaouna (€3.2M).

Youth Rewarded Over Experience

The club's highest salaries are not reserved for veterans. Some of the top earners are among the youngest players, including 20-year-old Caleb Yirenkyi (€3.7M), 23-year-old Aurèle Amenda (€2.7M), and 23-year-old Loum Tchaouna (€3.2M).
