The addition of Weyer, who is also a powerful drag-flicker, to the team\u2019s 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Welcoming Weyer to the Delhi SG Pipers family, SG Sports, Media and Entertainment (SGSE) CEO, Mahesh Bhupathi said: \"We welcome Corey to the Delhi SG Pipers family. He is a great addition to our team as he is a strong defender and his addition will only fortify our backline. As a team, we are really excited because we have managed to rope in a top-notch player in the form of Corey.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Besides the World Cup bronze, he also has in his trophy cabinet gold medals at the 2019 Oceania Cup and 2014 Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Weyer\u2019s addition to the team, Graham Reid, Head Coach of the men's team of Delhi SG Pipers said: \u201cCorey is a great defender and a world-class distributor of the ball. He also brings with him an extra dragflicking option. Weyer's selection for the Delhi SG Pipers aligns with the team's goal of bolstering the defence with a player who has proven himself at the highest level of international hockey.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Weyer has 63 caps for the national team and his return to the Kookaburras\u2019 fold is a testament to his improved form and physical capabilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
