He started his Sheffield Wednesday two-year scholarship ahead of the 2023–24 season.[4] He became U18 captain before signing his first professional contract with the club in July 2025.[5][6][7] On the 13 August 2025, Weaver made his professional debut against Bolton Wanderers in the EFL Cup, where the young Owls side would draw 3–3 against the League One side, eventually winning the game on penalties.[8][9] Three days later, he made his senior league debut, replacing Max Lowe on the 85th minute against Stoke City.[10] At the start of September, manager Henrik Pedersen moved Weaver, alongside teammates Reece Johnson, Jarvis Thornton and goalkeeper Logan Stretch into the first team dressing room.[11] The following week he started his first Championship game, starting in a 2–0 win against Portsmouth, Wednesday's first win of the season.[12] He started the following two games in September which would earn him the club player of the month.[13] However, going into the next international break, it was revealed Weaver had been playing with a foot injury and would likely miss months of the season.[14][15]
