Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

One Defender Out-earns Top Midfielders

Left-Back Ryan Giles's €2.2M salary is greater than the combined earnings of the two highest-paid midfielders, Matt Crooks (€1.1M) and Kieran Dowell (€1.0M).

Huge Gap in Defensive Pay

The highest-paid defender, Ryan Giles (€2.2M), earns exactly double the salary of the second-highest-paid defender, Centre-Back Semi Ajayi (€1.1M), creating a significant wage gap within the backline.

One Defender's Salary Matches Goalkeepers

The entire goalkeeping department, consisting of Ivor Pandur (€500K) and Dillon Phillips (€280K), has a combined salary of €780K, which is exactly what defender Akin Famewo earns.

Defender and Winger on Same Wage

Despite playing in very different roles, Centre-Back Paddy McNair and Left-Winger Liam Millar are on identical contracts, with both earning exactly €930K per year.

Defender and Striker on Par

Despite playing in different positions, Centre-Back Charlie Hughes and Centre-Forward Kyle Joseph earn the exact same salary at €625K.

Attacking Midfielders Command Top Pay

The two highest-paid midfielders, Matt Crooks (€1.1M) and Kieran Dowell (€1.0M), are both attacking midfielders. Their salaries are notably higher than the highest-paid central midfielder, Eliot Matazo (€900K).

The Four Tiers of Hull

The squad's salaries are structured into four clear tiers. The Elite tier (>€1.5M) includes Ryan Giles and Oliver McBurnie.

A Left-Back is Hull's King

The club's highest-paid player is not a striker or an attacking midfielder, but Left-Back Ryan Giles, whose €2.2M salary puts him at the top of the wage bill.

Hull City's Top Striker

The highest earner in the attack is Centre-Forward Oliver McBurnie, whose €1.6M salary makes him the second-highest-paid player in the entire squad.
