Welsh was most recently with UK EIHL side Nottingham Panthers, Cracovia of the Polska Hokej Liga (PHL) and formerly played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Carolina Hurricanes, Vancouver Canucks and St. Louis Blues.

Playing career[edit]

Welsh signed a one-year entry level contract with the Hurricanes on April 5, 2012[1] and played in his first NHL game two days later against the Florida Panthers.[2] Prior to the start of the 2013–14 season Welsh was traded, along with Zac Dalpe, to the Canucks in exchange for Kellan Tochkin and a fourth round selection in the 2014 NHL Draft.[3]

Welsh scored his first NHL goal with the Canucks on November 22, 2013, against Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

On July 21, 2014, Welsh signed a one-year, two-way deal as a free agent with the St. Louis Blues.[4]

After two seasons within the Blues organization, Welsh left to sign his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal with new German DEL entrant, the Fischtown Pinguins on September 1, 2016.[5] In his debut season in Germany in 2016–17, Welsh enjoyed a productive season in compiling 13 goals and 29 points in 36 games.

At the conclusion of his contract, Welsh opted to continue in the DEL, in agreeing to a one-year deal as a free agent with Düsseldorfer EG on May 17, 2017.[6]

As a free agent to begin the 2018–19 season, Welsh agreed to a try-out contract with Czech outfit, HC Dynamo Pardubice of the Czech Extraliga on November 23, 2018.[7] Welsh made 4 appearances for Pardubice, collecting 1 assist, before ending his trial with the club and returning to the DEL in securing a one-year deal for the remainder of the season with Grizzlys Wolfsburg on December 10, 2018.[8] Welsh contributed to Wolfsburg offensively with 18 points in 26 games before leaving as a free agent at the conclusion of the season on March 8, 2019.[9]

On May 5, 2019, Welsh opted to continue in the DEL, signing a one-year contract with his fourth top flight club, Krefeld Pinguine.[10]

After spending the 2020–21 season in Poland with Cracovia, Welsh agreed to join UK EIHL side Nottingham Panthers for the 2021–22 season.[11]

After two years with Nottingham, Welsh joined Romanian Erste Liga side HSC Csíkszereda in October 2023.
