FLW takes a look at how much Alfie May is estimated to be earning at Huddersfield Town

Former Cheltenham Town, Charlton Athletic, and Birmingham City striker Alfie May is one of the highest earners at Huddersfield Town, having joined the League One outfit in the summer of 2025.

Alfie May's journey to Huddersfield Town was not an orthodox one.

Having spent a brief period in the youth system at Millwall, May would play in non-league between 2012 and 2017, playing for the likes of Billericay Town, Erith and Belvedere, and Hythe Town, the latter of which he scored 37 goals in 45 games with, earning interest from the EFL.

Doncaster Rovers signed the Englishman in January 2017 on a two-and-a-half-year contract, turning professional for the first time in his career, spending three years in Yorkshire before moving back south with Cheltenham Town in January 2020.

With Cheltenham, May launched himself onto the map, hitting 23 goals and four assists in the 2021/22 campaign with the club in League One, followed up by 20 goals and three assists the following season.

A move to Charlton Athletic followed in the summer of 2023, where he would continue his goalscoring excellence at The Valley by hitting another 23 goals and one assist, grabbing the attention of the newly relegated Birmingham City.

May had solidified himself as one of the best strikers in the third tier, and with the Blues, he netted 16 times and notched a further eight assists as the club broke the EFL points record in the 2024/25 season, but as Birmingham went up, May remained in League One, switching to Huddersfield in 2025.

Alfie May is earning an estimated £16,000-per-week at Huddersfield Town

Following his switch to the Terriers in the summer of 2025, excitement rang around the Huddersfield fanbase, knowing they had just acquired one of the most prolific goalscorers in the third tier over the past five years.

May signed a three-year deal with the West Yorkshire outfit at an estimated £16,000-per-week, according to salarysport, the highest permanent contract at the club by some margin.

Aston Villa loanee Zepiqueno Redmond and Leicester City loanee Will Alves linger a little behind that sum, with Dion Charles reportedly the next highest permanent player at the club after May.

In just shy of 250 games in League One, May netted 89 goals and grabbed 19 assists in the third tier, which earned him the contract that he did with Huddersfield.

Alfie May has had an excellent goalscoring record across his career, making him the estimated top earner at Huddersfield Town

Playing in non-league as recently as 2017 and not making his professional debut until 23-years-old, May's journey to becoming the top earner at Huddersfield is certainly a unique one.

He has showcased his ability to find the net consistently in the third tier ever since, and that is reflected in the pay packet he is receiving in West Yorkshire.

Now entering the latter stages of his career, Huddersfield will be hoping that they haven't caught May on the decline, which could prove a massive dent in their promotion hopes as well as in their finances.

Given that he is on a three-year deal, May's deal at the ACCU Stadium doesn't expire until the summer of 2028, by which time he will be almost 35, so one would imagine that his move to the Terriers will be the most lucrative one of his career.

Huddersfield will certainly be hoping he can find the form expected of him to fire them towards promotion back to the Championship sooner rather than later, and if his goalscoring record is anything to go by, it wouldn't be surprising to see him do so.
