Welch began his youth career with his high school team Cypress Creek High School where he earned several honors. Following high school he signed with Rollins College where he was first called up to Trinidad and Tobago U23s.[1] In 2009, he signed for F.C. New York in their inaugural season in the USL pro, the professional third tier in the United States. After an unsuccessful season he moved to the San Juan Jabloteh in the Trinidad and Tobago TT Pro League. This was to be a short lived move, only scoring once in a stint lasting less than 10 games. As a result, he moved to Australia where he signed with Illawarra Premier League club Dapto Dandaloo in the hope of securing a move to the A-League.[2][3][4]
Following a solid 2014 season with Dapto Dandaloo in which he scored 5 goals,[5] Welch signed with South Coast Wolves in the National Premier Leagues NSW for the 2015 New South Wales National Premier Leagues Men's 1 season.[6]
In March of 2019, he was added to the brand new National Premier Soccer League team based out of Orlando, Florida the Central Florida Panthers SC.[7]
Welch has represented Trinidad and Tobago at U23 level.[8]
