Keith Welch (born 3 October 1968) is an English-born footballer who played as a goalkeeper in the Football League between the 1980s and 2000s, notably with Rochdale and Bristol City.[1]
He started with Bolton Wanderers as a trainee, but moved to Rochdale in 1987[1] and made his Football League debut with them, going on to play 205 League games for the club.[2] He transferred to Bristol City in 1991 for £200,000 and went on to play 321 times for them before moving on in 1999.[1]
He spent the next three seasons at Northampton Town making 127 appearances before leaving in 2002. As of January 2010 he had the third-longest spell for consecutive minutes keeping a clean sheet at Northampton, having managed 467 minutes in 2000.[3]
He signed for Tranmere Rovers in Summer 2002, primarily to act as cover for John Achterberg, but he suffered a groin injury on his opening-day debut against Port Vale.[4] He made his second Tranmere appearance on 21 September 2002 against Crewe Alexandra, but he dislocated his shoulder in the game, and was substituted for Tranmere's goalkeeping coach Eric Nixon.[5] This was to be his final appearance for Tranmere although he went on to have further short spells that season with Torquay United and Mansfield Town.[1] He made his final Football League appearance on 29 March 2003, for Mansfield against Peterborough United,[6] and he was subsequently released by Mansfield that summer.[7]
