He attended his first Summer Olympic Games in 1928, finishing 45th in a field of 69 before setting a personal best at the 1930 British Empire Games, ending in fourth place. He also appeared at the 1934 British Empire Games, finishing fifth in the marathon. After a victory at the 1935 Cleveland Marathon and third place at the 1935 Valley Forge-to-Philadelphia Marathon, Wyer made his final major appearance at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

Shortly afterwards he returned to Great Britain, where he died in June 1965.
