Weber joined Basel's first team in summer 1928. After two test games he played his team debut, playing as a midfielder on 2 September 1928 in the Swiss Cup match against FC Baden that Basel won 1–0.[1] He played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 21 October 1928 as Basel won 2–1 against Concordia Basel playing as defender.[2] In his last season with the club (1931–32) he only played two games and at the end of the season he retired from active football.

Between the years 1928 and 1932 Weber played a total of 38 games for Basel without scoring a goal. 20 of these games were in the Swiss Serie A, four in the Swiss Cup and 14 were friendly games.[3]

Later Weber was also member of the FC Basel board of directors. Then, following Jules Düblin who in the club's history was the longest and most permanent president, Weber presided the club's board from 1959 until 1962.[4]
