At age thirteen, Wallace moved to Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, where his father played local rugby league. While there, Wallace played junior rugby league with the Sawtell Panthers before signing with the Gold Coast Titans at age sixteen and moving back to Queensland.

Wallace was elevated into the Broncos' first-grade squad and played in two pre-season trials. He started the 2012 season playing for the Broncos' feeder side the Norths Devils in the Intrust Super Cup.

In round 6, Wallace was placed on report for a chicken wing tackle and was suspended for a week. In round 19 against the Wests Tigers, he scored his second career try following a short pass from Adam Blair. In round 20 against the Gold Coast Titans, one day after his 24th birthday, Wallace scored his third NRL try. In rounds 21 and 22, he started at prop due to Blair being suspended. For the remainder of the season, Wallace played off the bench including the 2015 NRL Grand Final loss to the North Queensland Cowboys. In 2015, Wallace played in a total of twenty-five games and scored three tries for the Brisbane club.

In January 2016, Wallace was selected in the QAS emerging Maroons squad.
