Kris Welham (born 10 March 1987 in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire) is an English rugby league player who currently plays for Bradford Bulls in the Championship competition. His usual position is centre.
He came up through the ranks at Hull Kingston Rovers and made his first team debut in the 36–10 defeat at Leigh in August 2006. He scored on his National League debut and followed that up with a try on his Super League debut in the 40–24 defeat to Wigan Warriors on 2 September 2006 at Craven Park.
In February 2012, he signed a new three-year deal that will keep him at Craven Park until 2015.[2]
The 2012 season came to an abrupt end for the England Knights centre though, as he suffered a broken leg in a 13-10 defeat to the Catalan Dragons in June, causing him to miss the rest of the season.
Kris Welham has currently appeared in every game during the 2014 season for Hull KR, scoring 5 tries in 14 games.[3]
