Career

Dumbarton

Wallace was a bit part player during his two seasons with the first team at Dumbarton, coming to the fore in their victory in the play-offs to win promotion to the Scottish First Division.

This performance earned him a move to full-time First Division side Greenock Morton for a nominal fee. [1]

In February 2014, Wallace went on loan to Queen's Park for a month. [3] After his loan spell, he returned to Morton for one start before being sent back on loan to Queen's Park until the end of the season. [4] He left Morton in the summer of 2014.

Lowland and Highland Leagues
