Steve joined Boston United in October 2005 as first team coach. After Neil Richardson left the club he also took on the role of Head of Youth, which involved work with the club's Centre of Excellence and the Bedford College Educational Scheme. He stayed at the club during four months without pay when the club hit a financial crisis in early 2007. On 18 November 2008 Tommy Taylor left Boston by mutual consent and Welsh was appointed caretaker manager. He was appointed permanent first team manager the following month after a satisfactory spell of results. Speaking of Welsh's appointment Boston United chairman David Newton said: "Steve ticked all the boxes with the exception of actual management experience. He now has the rest of the season to move from coach to manager, a step that we believe he can take, and we will be supporting him all the way."

Former Brentford and Boston United midfielder Stewart Talbot said it was the, 'right appointment at the right time'. Welsh fell ill over the New Year (08/09) and doctors advised him to stay at home and rest. As a result, he missed one game at home to Nantwich. Welsh picked the starting line-up but Talbot took charge of the match and United lost 5–0. Welsh appointed Andrew Stanhope as his assistant manager in early 2009 but was sacked later that year. He was re-appointed to the club in 2011 as the Head of Youth.
