Club career
[edit]Youth years

Platanias
[edit]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]
