Maurice Wellock (15 June 1902–1967) was an English professional footballer.

Life and career

Wellock was born in Bradford, Yorkshire and began his career with hometown club Bradford City, but failed to make the first team. He joined Halifax Town, making his league debut in the 1921–22 season. He scored three times in 33 games for Halifax before moving to Blackpool in 1923. He was not a regular in the Blackpool side, playing 27 league games in which he scored seven times, and moved to Oldham Athletic in February 1927, scoring six goals in just five league games, including four on his debut in a 5–2 win away to Grimsby Town.

In June 1927, he joined newly promoted Torquay United, playing in Torquay's first ever game in the Football League, a 1–1 draw at home to local rivals Exeter City on 27 August 1927. He spent just one season with Torquay, scoring three times in 27 games before joining Peterborough & Fletton United.

In 1929, he returned to the Football League with Darlington where he played regularly as a centre-forward, having played mainly as a defender with Torquay. He scored 71 goals, including five in one game against Rotherham United in 1930, in 104 league games for Darlington, finishing his career with a further 21 goals in 82 league games for Halifax Town.
