Nigel Adkins played Wallace primarily at centre half, as opposed to his more customary midfield role. Adkins commented on how well Wallace was impressing in the new role and indeed Wallace has appeared regularly at the beginning of the season, again in a new defensive position, this time at left back.

2019–20 season was curtailed by coronavirus. In February 2021 Wallace suffered an
anterior cruciate ligament injury, ruling him out until the summer. On 19 November 2021, he joined
York City on loan until 3 January 2022. On 28 January 2022, Wallace joined
Mansfield Town on a free transfer until the end of the season. He was reunited with manager
