In 1922 Veltheim succeeded together with him in promotion to the newly created second-highest league promotion series , with the future defender first playing as a striker. Another two years later, Weiler and Veltheim rose to the National League A in the summer of 1924 . In his first season in 1924/25 , Weiler was appointed to the national team, making it the only player in Veltheim to ever play in the national team.

In the next season, Weiler moved to Zurich to the Grasshoppers , with whom he stayed until the end of his career. With GC, Weiler was Swiss champion four times (1927, 1928, 1931 and 1937) and five times Swiss cup winner (1926, 1927, 1932, 1934 and 1937). In the national team he was captain from 1931 to 1934 and took part as a national player at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris , where he won silver with the team.
