Career
Nottingham Forest
Born in Leicester, Weir-Daley started his career at Nottingham Forest, progressing through their Academy and making his debut after successful spells in the youth and reserve teams. He made his debut in a League Cup game against Macclesfield Town and scored on his Football League debut with Forest in a 3–1 away win over Gillingham. After eight first-team appearances, he was side-lined by a shoulder injury.[2] It would keep him out for the remainder of the 2005–06 season.
In August 2006, Weir-Daley signed on loan for struggling League Two side Macclesfield Town for three months.[3] He played seven league games and scored twice. In January 2007 he moved on loan to another League Two side, Lincoln City,[4] on loan sparking interest in a permanent deal after scoring two goals against Walsall.[5] His form brought him into consideration for the League Two February player of the month award.[6]
On 22 March, the deadline for emergency loans, Weir-Daley was signed on loan by League One club Bradford City.[7] After returning, Weir-Daley made his final appearance for Forest as a substitute in a 2–0 win over Yeovil Town in their League One play-off semi-final first leg. He made seven league appearances for Forest, all as a substitute, 11 in total, scoring two goals.
Notts County
Weir-Daley rejected interest from Bradford to sign a two-year deal with Notts County.[8]
Weir-Daley became the first Notts County striker to score in the 2007–08 season (including pre season), when he scored in his third start of the season in Notts County's 1–1 draw with Rotherham United on 22 September. He was released from his contract in January 2009 five months early by mutual consent along with fellow County player Jay Smith. Weir-Daley had played 48 games for County although only 12 were starts he scored three goals, all of which came in the league.[9]
Ilkeston Town
In September 2009 he joined Conference North side Ilkeston Town on non-contract terms, appearing once for the club as a substitute in their 4–1 home FA Cup win against Mildenhall Town on 26 September 2009.[10][11]
Boston United
He joined Boston United in October 2009, scoring 21 goals in the 2009–10 season helping the club to promotion. In May 2011 Spencer was offerd a new contract from Boston United and rejected the offer and became a free agent
Rumours circulated of an impending move to Grimsby Town, however in a fans forum on 18 July 2011, joint-managers Paul Hurst and Rob Scott who managed Weir-Daley at Boston, commented that they had no interest in bringing him to Blundell Park.[12]
AFC Telford United
In late August 2011 he joined AFC Telford United until the end of the 2011/12 season.[13]
Back to Boston United
In January 2012 he rejoined his former club. On 1 January 2013 Weir-Daley scored his 50th competitive goal for the club in a 2–1 loss to Corby Town after 96 starts and 21 as sub.[14]
