St. Louis City SC 2 News Release
St Louis CITY2 re-signs 22-year-old goalkeeper Colin Welsh to a one-year MLS NEXT Pro contract through the end of the 2026 season.
"We're excited to bring Colin back and continue his progression within our goalkeeper group," said St. Louis CITY SC Sporting Director Corey Wray. "Colin took important steps in his first professional year, and we're confident our structure puts him in a good position to keep developing."
In his first professional season, Welsh made 12 starts, making 32 saves, and earning four clean sheets. Welsh's 2025 season was highlighted by an impressive start, recording back-to-back clean sheets against Sporting KC II in March and helping CITY2 begin the season unbeaten through five games. The Overland Park native earned MLS NEXT Pro Goalkeeper of the Month honors in March for his performances. Welsh, alongside his fellow CITY2 goalkeepers, allowed the second least number of goals in the MLS NEXT Pro Western Conference (37) and tied for second place in clean sheets (8).
St Louis selected Welsh in the third round (67th overall) in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft after his collegiate career with Western Michigan University and University of Memphis.
