On weyer

Delhi SG Pipers: Delhi SG Pipers, the Hockey India League (HIL) franchise, on Friday announced that it has roped in Australian defender Corey Weyer for the upcoming season. Weyer comes as a replacement for fellow Australian Flynn Ogilvie, who opted out of the league due to personal reasons.

The addition of Weyer, who is also a powerful drag-flicker, to the team’s defensive line is a strategic move by Delhi SG Pipers. He will not only add muscle to the defences of the squad, but the presence of an international performer also provides an additional set-piece option within the team.

The 28-year-old defender from Queensland, who made his international debut for the Kookaburras in 2017, was a member of the 2024 Paris Olympics squad. Weyer brings a wealth of international experience to the Delhi SG Pipers' defence, having played in the 2018 World Cup in Bhubaneswar, where Australia secured the bronze medal, the franchise informed in a statement on Friday.
