Career

Walsh's first Scottish Professional Football League game as a referee came at the beginning of the Scottish League Two campaign, when he oversaw Clyde against Queen's Park.[2]

Walsh took charge of his first top tier match in 2016, when he officiated a match between Ross County and Partick Thistle on 9 April.[3]

Walsh was then added to the FIFA list in 2018 and is now an international referee. He replaces Craig Thomson as his 15-year stint as a FIFA official comes to an end.

He refereed the Dunfermline vs Alloa Irn Bru cup game on the 13th October 2018 where he booked Dunfermline goalkeeper Lee Robinson for no apparent reason.

Outside of football Walsh is a PE teacher at Boclair Academy in Bearsden[4].
