After initially riding for Doncaster Stallions he was loaned out to Berwick Bandits by his parent club Sheffield Tigers.[4] Wyer rode for Young Lions against Great Britain on 6 April 1976 at Leicester Stadium and remained a Sheffield rider until 1980.
In 1980, Wyer won the South Australian Championship at the then new Speedway Park in Adelaide. The Script error: No such module "convert". long Speedway Park was a different track than Wyer was used to as its surface is clay rather than the dirt/shale track he rode in at home.
Wyer won the National League Pairs, partnering Les Collins for the Edinburgh Monarchs, during the 1986 National League season.[5]
