Playing career

Welch-Hayes signed a professional contract with Oxford United in May 2016, at the age of 19.[3] He made his League One debut for the club on 17 August 2016, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–0 away defeat to Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium.[4] He was released without making further appearances in May 2017[5] and joined Bath City on a permanent contract a week or so later.[6] In October 2017 he began a one-month loan at Oxford City[7] and started in the team that beat Colchester United of League Two in a first-round FA Cup upset on 4 November 2017.[8] He was named in the Conference South team of the year in the 2017−18 season just after missing out on the play-offs with Bath City.

In June 2018, he signed for Macclesfield Town, newly promoted to League Two.[9] He scored his first goal for the club at Walsall on 14 December 2019.[10] On 1 February 2020 it was announced that he was one of three players to have left financially troubled Macclesfield during the January 2020 transfer window, following a meeting with the English Football League.[11] He subsequently joined Colchester United on a contract until summer 2022.[12]
