Early career

Wehr grew up playing for Balaklava before moving to Woodville West Torrens because it was part of their recruiting zone.

Wehr had spent two years playing reserves for Woodville-West Torrens when he got promoted to the senior side.[1] He played on the wing and was a member of the side that won the SANFL premiership.

AFL career

Wehr was recruited with pick 59 in 2020 AFL draft as a mature-aged recruit, but failed to play a senior game in his first year. He was delisted but stayed at the club via the 2022 rookie draft. He made his AFL debut for the Giants against West Coast in round 10, 2022.

After being flattened by an illegal bump in the first game of 2023, Wehr broke his scapula in the second match. He will miss several months of footy.[2]
