VFL club Casey Scorpions has appointed former Carlton forward Rohan Welsh as its coach.

Welsh, 42, agreed to a part-time role last night after meeting Casey officials and Melbourne senior coach Mark Neeld. Casey is Melbourne's VFL-aligned club.

The Scorpions interviewed Welsh about the position three years ago, but he was unable to commit to what was then a full-time job.

Welsh played in Dandenong's 1991 VFA premiership and went on to 42 senior games with the Blues.
