No idea on the real number although there will clearly be a range from Academy graduates to established ‘stars’.
I know of the wage of a single Championship player, who is captain of his club. He was on £8k per week in 20/21 and was approached by a Premier League club, so he received an improved deal & extension to increase to £14k for season 21/22, making him one of the top earners at the club. I know this information directly through his brother.

I know this is a sample size of just one but I can’t believe that it is totally misrepresentative.
