Early career
editWehr grew up playing for Balaklava Football Club in the Adelaide Plains Football League (APFL) before moving to South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club Woodville-West Torrens because it was part of their recruiting zone.
Wehr had spent two years playing reserves for Woodville-West Torrens before promotion to the senior side.[1] He played on the wing and was a member of Woodville-West Torrens' 2020 SANFL premiership team.
AFL career
editWehr was recruited by the Greater Western Sydney Giants with pick 59 in 2020 AFL draft as a mature-aged recruit, but failed to play a senior game in his first year. At the end of 2021 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. As a result he missed several months of footy.[2]
During the 2025 free agency movement period, Wehr moved to Port Adelaide
