Career
Heracles Almelo
Wehmeyer grew up in Burgsteinfurt, North Rhine-Westphalia.[2][3] He developed in the youth ranks of SV Burgsteinfurt before joining the Twente/Heracles Academy in 2013. In late September 2022, he was named in the matchday squad of Heracles Almelo for the first time, ahead of the Eerste Divisie fixture against FC Den Bosch.[4] He made his professional debut in that match, coming on as a substitute in the closing minutes of a 2–1 away victory. Wehmeyer entered the pitch four minutes from time under head coach John Lammers, replacing Samuel Armenteros.[5]
Following his debut, Wehmeyer was permanently promoted to the first-team squad in October 2022.[6] In December 2022, he signed his first professional contract with the club, committing himself until mid-2025 with an option for an additional year.[7]
On 3 February 2023, Wehmeyer scored his first professional goals, netting twice after coming on as a substitute in a 6–1 home victory over Jong Utrecht.[8]
At the end of the season, Heracles Almelo were promoted to the Eredivisie as champions of the Eerste Divisie.[9] During his first professional campaign, Wehmeyer made 20 league appearances. Following promotion, his playing time at the top level was more limited, as he featured in seven league matches during the subsequent Eredivisie season.[10]
VVV-Venlo
In June 2024, Wehmeyer's contract with Heracles was terminated. He subsequently joined Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract with an option for an additional season and reuniting with former Heracles head coach John Lammers.[11][12] He made his competitive debut for the club on 10 August, the opening matchday of the 2024–25 season, starting in a 1–1 away draw against ADO Den Haag.[13][14] On 13 December, he scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 away victory against Eindhoven.[15]
Middelfart
On 30 June 2026, Wehmeyer signed a two-year contract with Danish 2nd Division club Middelfart.[16]
