He was selected by Essendon with the 47th selection in the 2001 AFL draft. He was a backline player who played halfback or back pocket for much of his career. However, later in his career he developed his game to play as a tagging-defensive midfielder.
He was a very quick player and runs off half back very well. A knee injury in 2005 sidetracked his career a little, but made a strong comeback in defence during 2006. In 2007 and 2008 his role changed, and he played primarily as a defensive forward and defensive midfielder respectively.
In October 2011, Welsh retired from Essendon Football Club due to several injury setbacks after playing 162 games with the club.
He then moved to the United States to attempt to become an actor.[1] In 2013, he became a boundary rider for the Seven Network.
