Early life

Wallace played at the youth level in Brazil with Floresta. In 2019, he joined Fluminense.[1]

Club career

In November 2020, Wallace signed a two-year contract with Canadian Premier League side York United, with an option for 2023, to join the club in 2021.[2][3] Fluminense retained part of Wallace's economic rights as part of the transfer.[4][5] In late August 2021, after being unable to join York due to being unable to acquire a visa due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was loaned to his former youth club Floresta until 1 March 2022.[6] Wallace also agreed to a restructuring of his contract, adding an additional option for 2024.[7] On 7 May 2022, Wallace made his debut as a substitute for York United in a 1–0 win over Forge FC.[citation needed] In June 2022, it was announced that Wallace ruptured his ACL in training and would miss the remainder of the season.[8] In December 2022, York announced Wallace's contract option for the 2023 would not be exercised.[9]
