Rhys David Weston (born 27 October 1980) is a Welsh former professional footballer who played as a defender. He represented the Welsh national team seven times during his career.
An Arsenal Academy graduate, he made one league appearance in the 1999–2000 campaign before signing with Cardiff City. He spent six years with Cardiff, making 214 appearances in league and cup, helping them to two promotions as the club rose from the fourth to the second tier of English football. Released by the club in 2006, he travelled to Norway to sign with Viking FK, though he only played one game. In 2007, he returned to England with spells at Walsall and Port Vale. He moved to Scottish club Dundee in 2010 and captained the side to a second-place finish in the First Division in 2011–12. In May 2012, he joined Icelandic club KR Reykjavík. Five months later, he signed for Malaysian club Sabah FA. He returned to England with AFC Wimbledon in July 2013, and from there was loaned out to Sutton United in January 2014. He was released by Wimbledon on his return and subsequently retired from professional football.
Although born in England, he chose to represent Wales at international level, making his debut for the senior squad in a friendly against Portugal in June 2000.
