Christopher "Chris" Weale (born February 9, 1982 in Yeovil [1][2]) is an English football goalkeeper currently playing for Bristol City. He had previously played for Yeovil Town.
Weale made his debut in the 2000-2001 Season and played at Huish Park for six seasons until a cruciate knee ligament finished his 2005-2006 season. During this time, he became Yeovil's most important goalkeeper. During his time at Yeovil he also underwent a trial at West Ham United where he appeared for their reserve team.
His contract expired at the end of that season, and Weale joined Bristol City under the Bosman ruling. He was joined by former team mates Phil Jevons, Liam Fontaine and Lee Johnson and former manager Gary Johnson.
He made his debut on February 10, 2007 against Huddersfield Town after Adriano Basso was sent off, and played in the FA Cup replay between City and Middlesbrough and saved a penalty from Yakubu, but City lost the penalty shootout 5-4.
On August 8, 2007 Weale joined Hereford United on a month's loan, but was recalled from his loan spell five days later, after an injury to city's first choice goalkeeper, Adriano Basso.
Weale rejoined Hereford on loan on November 27, 2008 on a one month loan.[1] He managed to make only one appearance before suffering an injury that was expected to keep him out for six weeks.
He rejoined his home town club Yeovil after their number one got sent off in a game at Brighton. The loan spell is a month and thought to be a favour by former manager Gary Johnson.[2] It has been revealed however that the move was funded by a supporters club. Weale headed in a late equaliser to earn Yeovil a 2-2 draw at home to his former side, Hereford on 21 April 2009. The goal won Sky Sports goal of the week beating the likes of Arshavin and Robinho.[3]
