With Winterslag, he reached the round of 16 in the 1981–82 UEFA Cup, having beaten Arsenal in the previous round. He played three seasons for the Genk outfit and then moved across the border to join Stade Reims. He rejoined Spora after only one season in France and played another five seasons for them. After one year at Thionville, he moved on to Avenir Beggen for whom he played eight seasons, interrupted by two seasons at Sporting Mertzig where he also took up the manager's post. While with Avenir, he claimed the 1990 Luxembourgish Footballer of the Year award.

Weis retired as a player at the end of the 1999–2000 season, aged 41.
