Career

Hearts

A member of Hearts's under-19 squad[2] Wallace joined Raith Rovers on loan in October 2009. He made his debut on 31 October, scoring in a 2–1 win over Partick Thistle.[3] In all he made four appearances scoring once before returning to Hearts.[4]

Following his release from Hearts, Wallace signed for Scottish Second Division side Airdrie United. He made his debut on 24 July 2010, in a 2–1 defeat to Ayr United in the Challenge Cup, with his league debut coming on 7 August 2010, against East Fife. Wallace scored his first goal for the club on 14 August, from the penalty spot, however was sent off in the dying minutes of the game for a professional foul.[8] He missed four weeks of the season after suffering a broken jaw in a friendly with Queen's Park.

His contract with Airdrie was terminated in January 2011 by mutual consent, following a fight in the stadium car park with fellow player Scott Gibson.[9] In all he made eleven appearances, scoring three times.[10]

Wallace then joined fellow Scottish Second Division side East Fife.

On 1 June 2012, it was announced that Wallace had agreed to join Scottish First Division side Dunfermline Athletic,[14] pending a compensation agreement with East Fife because of his age.[15] On 8 June, the deal was finalised and he signed a two-year contract.[16] After winning the Scottish League One title with the Pars, Wallace was released by the club at the end of the 2015–16 season.[17]
