Border Bulldogs
Welemu was one of several amateur club players brought into the Border Bulldogs provincial set-up at the start of 2014 after the professional side was declared bankrupt. He was included in their squad for the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition and made his debut in their Round Three match against Kenyan invitational side Simba XV, helping the Border Bulldogs to an 18–17 win, their only victory of the competition. He started three more matches and also came on as a substitute in their match against Boland Cavaliers as the Border Bulldogs finished bottom of the log.
Welemu was retained for their 2014 Currie Cup qualification campaign and he made his debut in the Currie Cup competition in their opening-day 5–52 defeat to Griquas. He made his first Currie Cup start in their next match against the Boland Cavaliers and made a further three appearances from the bench, but the Border Bulldogs lost all six of their matches to qualify to the 2014 Currie Cup First Division. Welemu made one appearance off the bench in the First Division in a 6–27 defeat to the Boland Cavaliers as the Bulldogs finished bottom of the log with a single win all season.
Welemu returned in the 2015 Vodacom Cup, coming on as a reserve in their opening match of the season against the Sharks XV.
