Stephen Welsh, a Scottish-born football player, born on 19th January 2000. Primarily a central defender for the Celtic Football Club, he exhibits a commanding presence on the field, standing tall at 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weighing 12st 3lb (78kg). He carries the number 57 on his Celtic jersey and has made notable contributions to the Scottish football scene.
Welsh joined Celtic in the Scottish Premiership as a trainee in July 2017. He made his mark in his debut season 2019-2020, where he made one first team appearance in league matches. His involvement with the club continued to grow in the 2020-2021 season, as he made 16 first team appearances and scored his debut goal. Over the following seasons, Welsh maintained consistent game time appearances, scoring another goal in the 2022-2023 season. As of the current 2024-2025 season, Welsh has made one first team appearance.
In August 2019, Welsh was transferred from Celtic to Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship on loan. However, his stay was short-lived, returning to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership in January 2020 upon completion of his loan. His return to Celtic saw him maintain his form, with regular appearances and integral match contributions continuing into the present day.
In hindsight of Welsh's time at Celtic; his progression, the continuous evolution of his game and his constant display of effort on the pitch is commendable. His contributions during the Champions League 2023-2024 and the League Cup 2024-2025, both for Celtic, are testaments of his significant role in the team.
Notwithstanding his club contributions, Welsh also made his mark on the international football scene, having represented the Scottish U21 national team.
