Playing career

Weber started his professional career at MŠK Žilina [1] before moving to Sparta Prague, where he made seven appearances in his first two seasons in the Czechoslovak First League. In the 1990–1991 season he moved to Cheb, where he continued in the Czechoslovak First League until Cheb's relegation in the 1991–92 Czechoslovak First League. Cheb returned to the top flight after a one-season absence and Weber moved to league rivals Drnovice during the 1993–94 season. Weber played in 146 games for Drnovice and scored 14 goals.
