On 31 August he signed a loan deal with Lyn for the 2009 season. On 19 October 2009 reports suggested that Kasey was to move to Preston North End as a free agent. On 8 April 2010, it was announced that Wehrman had signed a two-year deal with the Newcastle Jets, returning to Australia after eight years abroad.
