Revealed: The highest paid player at every Premiership club

Here is the current list of highest paid stat at every Gallagher Premiership club ahead of the 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership season...

There are a number of changes across the division with number 10's clearly the biggest earners with only three forwards featuring on the list.

The full list can be seen below:

Bath Rugby: Sam Underhill - £475,000

Bristol Bears: Charles Piutau - £1m

The former All Black full-back or wing, who surprised many by leaving New Zealand before reaching the peak of his powers, has allegedly become British rugby’s first million pound man.

Exeter Chiefs: Stuart Hogg - £500,000

The fullback signed a new deal recently, accepting a slight pay-cut.

Gloucester Rugby: Jonny May - £320,000

Became the best paid player at Kingsholm following Danny Cipriani's sudden departure in December.

Harlequins: Marcus Smith (£450,000)

Leicester Tigers: Handre Pollard - £550,000

London Irish: Paddy Jackson - £500,000

The number 10 will reportedly earn more than his ex-international teammate, who'll also pocket a hefty £350,000 wage packet.

Newcastle Falcons: Matías Orlando - £350,000

Northampton Saints: Dan Biggar - £500,000

Wales’ ‘Governor’ was a catalyst for the Ospreys, being a superb club man and racking up a points record. But he decided to sample life “outside the goldfish bowl” of Wales with a big money offer enticing him to Northampton Saints.

Sale Sharks: George Ford - £450,000

Saracens: Owen Farrell - £750,000

Farrell will remain at the club that he has called ‘home’ since the age of 14 until at least 2022, earning himself a hefty pay-rise in the process. His new deal means he will now earn in excess of £750,000 a season, bringing him in line with some of the highest paid players in the world.
