Career

Weare was born in Perivale, in London, and played for East Ham United.[1]

He joined Queens Park Rangers in March 1999 and made four League appearances for the club. In July 2001, he was signed to Bristol Rovers by his old QPR manager Gerry Francis.[1][2] At Bristol Rovers he scored his first professional goal in a win at Scunthorpe United.[3] He had suffered from back injuries while with QPR,[4] and his ongoing problems in this area lead to his premature retirement from football at the age of 25.

He later played for Isthmian League club East Thurrock United.[5]

Managerial career

On 26 April 2022, Weare was appointed manager of Essex Senior League club Clapton.[6]
