Club career

Youth years

A right-back, Weiss began his career in the academy at Panathinaikos and spent the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons with Brentford Griffins,[3][4][5] a community youth team of English club Brentford.[6] He won two National League U19 Alliance titles with the team.[7][8]

Platanias

In 2015, Weiss returned to Greece to join the academy at Platanias and progressed to sign a professional contract in February 2017.[3] He was an unused substitute during a late-2016–17 season Super League match and broke into the team during the 2017–18 relegation season,[9] in which he made 17 appearances.[1] Weiss made 29 appearances and scored one goal during the 2018–19 season and was a part of the team which reached the Football League promotion playoffs.[1][10] He was nominated for the Best Young Player award at the 2018–19 Football League Awards.[11]

During a 2019–20 season affected by military service and the COVID-19 pandemic,[12][13] Weiss made 16 appearances and scored one goal,[1] before departing the club on 1 July 2020.[14] He made 62 appearances and scored two goals during four years as a professional at the Perivolia Municipal Stadium.[1]

OFI

On 8 January 2020, it was announced that Weiss had signed a pre-contract to join Super League club OFI on a four-year contract on 1 July 2020.[14][15] During a 2020–21 season in which OFI narrowly avoided relegation,[16] he made 34 appearances.[1] During an injury-hit 2021–22 season,[17] Weiss made 12 appearances and departed the club in August 2022.[1][18] Weiss made 46 appearances during 2+1⁄2 years at the Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium.[1]

Volos

On 18 August 2022, Weiss signed a two-year contract with Super League club Volos.[18][19] He made 14 appearances prior to his contract being terminated by mutual consent on 19 January 2023.[19]

Athens Kallithea

On 20 January 2023, Weiss signed an 18-month contract with Super League Greece 2 club Athens Kallithea.[20] He made 10 appearances and scored one goal during the remainder of a 2022–23 season in which the club narrowly missed promotion to the Super League.[1][21] Weiss made just seven appearances during the first half of the 2023–24 season,[22] before transferring to Nassaji Mazandaran in February 2024.[23] Ultimately the transfer "could not be concluded due to procedural issues" and Weiss remained with Athens Kallithea.[24]

International career

Weiss won five caps for the Greece U21 team and was part of the squad which failed to qualify for the 2021 UEFA European U21 Championship.[25][22] He made his full international debut for Syria with starts in a pair of 2022 World Cup AFC third round qualifiers in September 2021.[26] Weiss was a part of the Syria squad which qualified for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and he started in each match during the team's run to the round-of-16.[26]

Personal life

Weiss is of Syrian descent.[2] In August 2019, he undertook military service.[12]
