<!-- google_ad_section_start -->yea i have searching the free agents, most of their salaries start from �1100 but you've to up that to closer �1600 to get their interest...which is still pricey.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I'm a non-league footballer at Eastbourne Borough in the Blue Square Premier. We are one of only 2 clubs in that league not to be full time! Even though it is a non-professional league, all but a few of the players that I know at EB live entirely off their football income, which ranges from around �250 a week for players graduating from the reserves and youth, to around �700 as the top earner, plently to live off. As we only train 2 evenings a week presently, there is plently of time for the players to have other jobs, and there are definitely a few who fill their spare time labouring, building, plastering and the like to suplement their income!<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
That figure, which equates to �13,000 per week, typically rises by between 60% and 100% when performance-related bonuses are taken into account.
Strikers have the highest average annual salary, with �806,000, while midfielders earn about �754,000.
Defenders earn �653,000 on average and Premiership goalkeepers make �533,000. <!-- E SF -->
The basic pay represents an average rise of around 65% from the average figure in 2000.
Players' bonuses vary enormously - depending on the terms of their deal - but could easily double a footballer's salary.
Bonuses may include appearance money of about �5,000 per game - even if the player only comes on as a last-minute substitute.

Players can also look forward to a share of a win bonus following each victory and an end-of-season performance bonus - often related to whether a team stays up or qualifies for Europe.
Further bonuses may follow if a club reaches a cup final and there may also be goal bonuses.
Wages are also staggered according to age, with the highest earners tending to be those aged between 27 and 30.
Salaries drop considerably in lower divisions, although they are still substantial.
Championship players earn an average salary of �195,750, League One players �67,850 and League Two �49,600.
About 400 players across the four professional divisions responded to the survey.
