Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 43). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 35% of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 26 Welsh is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Welsh is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 42.8, Welsh carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 35%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~16), then tapers with age. At 26, Welsh sits on 15.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Welsh's projected Rating — 42.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
