Andrew Welsh (born 11 February 1983) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
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 tough, hard running midfielder an extremely popular figure amongst the Essendon supporters
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 October 2011, Welsh who was vice captain retired from Essendon Football Club due to several injury setbacks after playing 162 games with the club.
In 2013, he became a boundary rider for the Seven Network.
Now a well known highly successful property developer across Australia with a net worth believed to be over $400 million AUD which had him in the top 10 Rich Listers under 40
Welsh joined the Essendon Football Club board in 2022 and was promoted to Vice President in 2023 and is seen to be the next President if he chooses to do so.
