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.
