Werchon joined the Queensland Reds during their 2023 Super Rugby Pacific campaign and missed out on a possible debut off the bench when he was dropped by coach Brad Thorn for arriving late. He was retained by the Reds in 2024 and got another opportunity when scrum-half Tate McDermott received a three-week suspension, subsequently making his debut in their round nine win over the Highlanders at Suncorp Stadium.{{cite news |last1=Wenzel |first1=Murray |title=The three minutes that moulded Reds halfback Werchon |url=https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/8603717/the-three-minutes-that-moulded-reds-halfback-werchon/ |work=Illawarra Mercury |date=23 April 2024 |language=en-AU}}
