In 2006, Welch moved to France and signed for Pingouins de Morzine-Avoriaz in the Ligue Magnus. In 2007 he had a brief spell in Switzerland's National League B with HC Neuchâtel Young Sprinters, where he played four games, before returning to North America with the ECHL's Texas Wildcatters. In 2008 he had a spell in Denmark with TOTEMPO HvIK before returning once more to the ECHL with the Idaho Steelheads.

He then had brief spells in the Central Hockey League in 2009 with the Colorado Eagles and the Texas Brahmas before returning to the UK with the Edinburgh Capitals. On August 4, 2010, the Belfast Giants announced that they had signed Welch as a free agent. [1]
