He was also in the side as they won the 2011–12 Scottish Challenge Cup in April 2012 beating Hamilton Academical 1–0 in the final at Almondvale Stadium on 1 April 2012.

Wallace returned to Huddersfield after the end of his loan at former club Falkirk in May 2012 after helping them beat Ayr 3–2 on 6 May 2012 and helping the side to a third-place finish in the Scottish First Division. He was set to train with Simon Grayson's squad throughout the Play-Off campaign until he joined up with the Scotland Under-20 side ahead of a tournament being held in the Netherlands as Huddersfield went on to win the Play Off final beating Sheffield United on penalties to win promotion to the Championship.
