Ross Wallace

Ross Wallace

Ross Wallace was born in Dundee, Scotland on 23 May 1985 (age 40).

Ross Wallace, born on 23 May 1985 in Scotland, has had quite an intriguing career as a midfielder, primarily in the Left Att Midfield. Standing at 5ft 5in (1.67m) tall and weighing 9st 12lb (63kg), his football journey has been a noteworthy one.

Wallace first joined Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland as a promising trainee in July 2001. The 2003 - 2004 season at Celtic marked his debut in the first team where he made eight appearances and netted the ball once in the league matches.

Subsequent years saw an elevated game play as noted in the 2004 - 2005 season where he made 15 appearances in the first team league matches. The 2005 - 2006 season contributed 11 first team appearances, while the subsequent 2006 - 2007 season added two more appearances to his Celtic career tally.

In a notable move post his time with Celtic, Wallace transferred to Sunderland in the Championship in England, in August 2006 for a fee of around £900k. His tenure at Sunderland was marked by significant performances where he made 32 first team appearances scoring six goals in the 2006 - 2007 season and 21 appearances with two goals in the 2007 - 2008 season.

July 2008 saw Wallace's transfer from Sunderland to Preston North End in the Championship in England for an undisclosed fee. Between 2008 - 2010 his contributions were striking with 80 appearances and 12 goals scored.

Post Preston North End, in July 2010, Wallace moved to Burnley in the Championship in England, for an undisclosed fee. During his tenure from 2010 to 2015 he made 148 appearances and netted the ball 12 times.

In what could be touted as the next major shift in his career, in July 2015, Wallace moved from Burnley to Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in England. His contribution to Sheffield Wednesday was noteworthy with 108 appearances and ten goals between 2015 - 2018. Wallace then transferred from Sheffield Wednesday to Fleetwood Town in the League Two of England in September 2018.

Wallace's career took him home to Scotland where he joined St Mirren in the Premiership in June 2020 after a brief stint with Fleetwood Town. His time at St Mirren added three more appearances during the 2019 - 2020 season.
