Having come up through the youth ranks at Everton,[1] Weir made her first-team debut for the English club on 30 January 2022, coming on as a substitute for Izzy Christiansen in the 82nd minute of a 4–0 win over Huddersfield Town, in the fourth round proper of the FA Cup.[2][3]

On 4 July of the same year, Weir joined Scottish Women's Premier League club Glasgow City on a season-long loan.[10][11] On 6 September 2023, she made her UEFA Women's Champions League debut, starting and playing 90 minutes in a 2–0 win over Shelbourne, in the first round semi-final.[12][13] In the following game, the first round final, against Gintra, on 9 September, she scored her first senior goal, helping Glasgow City gain a 3–0 victory and qualify for the tournament's second round.[14][15] On 13 September, she scored her first league goal in a 5–0 victory over Hamilton Academical.[16][17] On 5 October, she received a straight red card for a foul on Kit Loferski in the penalty area in the 70th minute of a league match against Celtic, which ended in a 2–1 defeat for her side.[18][19]

International career

Weir represented Scotland at under-16 and under-19 international level.[1]
