Playing career
Werner first played as youth with hometown club, Mariestad BoIS HC, up to the Under-18 level. On 6 June 2013, having shown early potential in using his size to compliment his style, Werner was signed under the eye of goaltending scout Erik Granqvist by SHL club Färjestad BK to continue his development at the U18 and J20 SuperElit leagues.
In his first season within Färjestad BK in 2013–14, Werner lead the league at the U18 Elite level in goals against average and save percentage. Continuing his growth in the 2014–15 season, on 1 November 2014, having been promoted for the start of the SHL season, Werner made his professional debut as a 17-year old whilst serving in his second game as backup, coming off the bench for 3 minutes in a game against Leksands IF. Werner were returned to become a fixture of the J20 side, appearing in 14 games and earning recognition in joining the Swedish junior program.
In his second year in the J20 SuperElit, Werner improved his statistics from the previous year in 30 games with Färjestad. Unable to add to his SHL experience in the 2015–16 season, he was loaned to Hockeyettan clubs with brief appearances for Köping HC and Forshaga IF. He was also loaned to HockeyAllsvneskan club, IF Björklöven. In making an impression from practicing with the squad, Werner failed to feature in Allsvenskan games before returning to Färjestad.
On April 15, 2016, Werner was signed to a one-year extension with Färjestad to solidify his position as the club's third choice keeper at the age of 19. In order to progress his game, on 19 April 2016, Werner was re-loaned to IF Björklöven for the duration of the 2016–17 season. Assuming starting goaltender status with Björklöven, Werner appeared in 25 games in posting 12 wins as the club was unable to progress to the post-season. In the midst of the season, Werner was selected to the national junior team as Sweden's third choice goaltender at the 2017 World Junior Championships.
In continuing his development, Werner agreed to a new two-year contract to remain under contract with Färjestad on March 15, 2017. It was announced that Werner would extend his tenure on loan with Björklöven for the 2017–18 season on March 22, 2017.
