Weir's 14-year career has seen him make Football League appearances for hometown club Hereford back in 2009.
Having made a handful of appearances for The Bulls, Weir spent time on loan at both Gloucester City and Worcester City, where he would go on to play over 150 games.
He was a member of the famous City side that beat Coventry City in the first-round of the FA Cup in 2014.
Weir also played for Halesowen Town and Evesham before moving to Newent, where he has played and captained for four years.
