The available salary estimates identify a highest-paid Birmingham City player in six of the ten completed seasons from 2016/17 through 2025/26. They do not establish a leader for every season, and the two estimates found for 2023/24 name different players. All figures below are third-party estimates, not confirmed contract disclosures.
Estimated highest-paid Birmingham City players by season
The table lists each season for which a usable estimate surfaced, alongside the four seasons for which the available evidence does not identify a leader. “Highest-paid” therefore means the player named by the cited salary database, not a verified club ranking.
| Season | Player identified | Reported estimate | Source and qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016/17 | Craig Gardner | £30,000 per week | Salary Sport search result; underlying page was not retrievable. |
| 2017/18 | Not established | Not stated | No usable season-specific top-earner estimate was available. |
| 2018/19 | Not established | Not stated | No usable season-specific top-earner estimate was available. |
| 2019/20 | Not established | Not stated | No usable season-specific top-earner estimate was available. |
| 2020/21 | Not established | Not stated | No usable season-specific top-earner estimate was available. |
| 2021/22 | Onel Hernández | £21,000 per week; £1.1 million annually | SalaryLeaks season page identifies Hernández as the highest earner. |
| 2022/23 | Harlee Dean | £32,000 per week | Salary Sport search result; underlying page was not retrievable. |
| 2023/24 | Neil Etheridge or Krystian Bielik | £20,000 per week | Salary Sport names Etheridge; its underlying page was not retrievable. SalaryLeaks names Bielik and also gives an annualized estimate of £1 million. |
| 2024/25 | Ibrahim Osman | £38,000 per week | Salary Sport search result; underlying page was not retrievable. |
| 2025/26 | Carlos Vicente | £50,000 per week; £2.6 million annually | SalaryLeaks season page identifies Vicente as the highest earner. |
What the estimates do—and do not—show
They are database estimates, not disclosed contracts
None of the figures is established here as a salary confirmed by Birmingham City or as a public individual contract disclosure. Treat them as the named publisher’s estimate for that season. The evidence does not specify whether bonuses, image rights or other contract terms are included, so the weekly figures should not be treated as complete compensation packages.
The 2023/24 player ranking is unresolved
Salary Sport names Neil Etheridge, while SalaryLeaks names Krystian Bielik. Both report £20,000 per week, but matching amounts do not settle the disagreement about who ranked first. The available evidence does not support choosing one as the definitive leader.

Club-wide staff costs cannot fill the missing rows
Salary Sport reports £39 million in staff costs and £36.453 million in revenue for 2024/25. Those are club-wide financial figures, not individual player wages, and cannot establish who earned the most. Likewise, the available information does not justify filling the four unestablished seasons by inference from a player’s reputation, transfer fee or position.
