The Dartmouth grad made his first appearance in a matchday 23 for DC in Week 17 of his rookie 2023 season, when they travelled down to Houston to face the SaberCats. This would be the only MLR cap in Weir’s rookie season, but Old Glory DC announced the re-signing of Mike Weir on 22nd December 2023, ahead of the 2024 season. Weir remained with the Flags through the 2024 MLR season but did not appear at MLR level. In August 2024, he joined a business consulting firm in the DC area.
