Webster's career has been plagued by injury, having three knee reconstructions in four years. He first injured his left knee during the first game of the Under 18s carnival and had to undergo a knee reconstruction which put him out of the remainder of the 2000 season. In 2002, after showing promising form in the pre-season games for Fremantle he suffered another injury to the left knee requiring a second knee reconstruction in a practice match against Collingwood at Fremantle Oval. A week after being one of Fremantle's best players in their first ever final in 2003, he damaged his right anterior cruciate ligament playing for East Perth in the WAFL preliminary final. The anterior cruciate ligament (or ACL) is one of the four major Ligaments of the Knee. He returned to the AFL for Round 21, 2004 and played the last two games of the season. After being in and out of the Fremantle team for the next 3 years, Webster injured his left knee again early in the 2008 season whilst playing for East Perth.
Webster underwent a knee reconstruction via the controversial method of using a synthetic ligament instead of the body's own tissue with a view to an earlier than anticipated return in Season 2008.
