Career

After scoring 14 goals in the Blackpool youth team in the first part of the 2019–20 season, first-team manager Simon Grayson invited Weston to travel with the squad to Ipswich Town on 23 November. He was taken out of school for the journey. He was then named on the bench in the Seasiders' following match, a home tie against Scunthorpe United in the EFL Trophy on 27 November.[3][4] He made his professional debut on 1 December, in the final minute of normal time of Blackpool's 3–1 victory over Maidstone United in the second round of the FA Cup.[5]

Weston joined Rangers on 31 July 2020 for an undisclosed fee.[6]
