While playing for the Perth Wildcats, he won the NBL championship in 2010. The 200 cm Queenslander is primarily a small forward but can also power forward and shooting guard.
In addition to his NBL career, Weigh has played numerous seasons in the Australian second division leagues.

Weigh attended the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) from 2005 to 2006 where he was coached by his future Adelaide 36ers coach Marty Clarke. In 2005, he was named the MVP of both the Australian Under-20 National Tournament and the Adidas Asia Superstar Camp.
On 29 November 2005, Weigh signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for the University of Utah. He went on to average 19 points and five rebounds per game in the 2006 SEABL season. Following the SEABL season, he moved to the United States where he joined the Utah Utes men's basketball team for the 2006–07 season. After a successful freshman season, Weigh was hit with injuries during his sophomore season and decided to return to Australia in January 2008.
