Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Weighell fought back to claim a place in the XI the following season and soon registered his career-best match figures - 9/130 at Edgbaston against Warwickshire. He had a pretty decent 2016 campaign and had more to offer when Onions departed in 2017.
Durham handed the left-armer his maiden List A and T20 cap that year and he immediately repaid them by finishing as their highest-wicket taker in the Royal London One-Day Cup.
Weighell's best moment came in 2018 when he led Durham to a comeback win over Leicestershire. Durham were asked to follow-on after being bowled out for 184 in response to Leicestershire's 440, they set a target of 148 and then it was all Weighell, the left-arm quick picked 7 for 32 - his best innings haul and bowled them out for 101.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
James Weighell played a prominent role in a historic Durham performance in 2018 when they won a match after following on for the first time since their admission to the Championship in 1992. Weighell warmed up with 38 with the bat to leave Leicestershire a target of 148 runs to win from 46 overs, just enough for Durham's bowlers to sense they were in with a sniff. Weighell then took a first-class best of 7 for 32 to bowl Leicestershire out for 101.
Another of Durham's promising Academy seam bowlers, Weighell hails from Middlesbrough, border country where Durham's raids have become considerably more successful than Yorkshire's, and might have made quicker progress had his career not been hampered by back trouble. He was actually released by Durham in 2014, but regained fitness playing for Northumberland to win another chance.
In 2016, he took his maiden five-for against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, returning match figures of 9 for 130 when his reliance on bowling brisk right-arm predominantly from around the wicket raised a few eyebrows. He was a regular member of the Durham T20 side that reached the quarter-finals in 2018, and built a solid record in first-class cricket - although injuries continued to put a check on his progress.
