Jensen Guy Weir (born 31 January 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One club Wigan Athletic.
[8] He made his senior debut at the DW Stadium on 7 November 2017, in an EFL Trophy game against Accrington Stanley,[9] becoming the club's youngest ever player, at the age of 15 years and 280 days.
[12] Upon Weir's departure from Wigan, Academy manager Gregor Rioch said that his sale would guarantee the immediate future of the club amidst administration and that he would also be a role model for other youth-team players to follow.
[20] Head coach Graham Potter named him in a matchday squad for the first time for the senior side on 3 February 2021, though he remained an unused substitute in a 1–0 win at Liverpool.
[21] He scored four goals in 18 Professional Development League games for Simon Rusk's under-23 team in the 2020–21 season, including a brace against Manchester United.
[23][24] Mark Bonner played him alongside defensive anchor Paul Digby, with Weir and Wes Hoolahan expected to provide creativity going forward.
[25] Weir made his debut at the Abbey Stadium on 10 August, starting in the EFL Cup first round tie with Swindon Town where Cambridge won 3–1 on penalties after a goalless draw in the 90 minutes of play.
[33] He was sent off after picking up two yellow cards on his Shrimps home debut and second appearance in the eventual penalty shoot-out win over Stoke City of the Championship in the EFL Cup on 9 August.
[35] He enjoyed an excellent season at the Mazuma Stadium, leaving manager Derek Adams to fend off speculation of him being recalled to Brighton early from his loan.
[44] David Flitcroft, the club's director of football, stated that he had attempted to sign Weir in the summer but that he would now provide midfield options following the departure of loanee Ollie Arblaster and injuries to Funso Ojo and Ben Garrity.
