[edit] Career

[edit] Domestic

Wallner began his career with hometown Sturm Graz in 1998. In the following year he moved to Rapid Wien, where he would have his most successful years, appearing in over 100 matches and scoring 42 goals over five seasons with the club. He then spent one year spells at German club Hannover 96 and VfB Admira Wacker Mödling before signing with Austria Vienna in 2005. He left the club in 2007.

At the beginning of the 2007-2008 season, Wallner signed a 1 year contract including the option of a 2nd year with Scottish Premier League outfit Falkirk F.C..

In November 2007, Roman signed for Scottish First Division Hamilton Academical on loan from Falkirk. He returned to Falkirk the following month.

In January 2008, he travelled to Greece where he was on trial for the Greek Cup 2006-07 winners Larissa F.C.. In the same month Falkirk announced that Wallner had been released from his contract by mutual consent. In late January, he signed with Apollon Kalamarias.

On February 3, 2007, Apollon Kalamarias' player Barkoglou scored a last minute goal in a match against Olympiacos which ended 1-0 to Apollon. Olympiakos appealed against Wallner's appearance in the match, because according to FIFA rules a player could play for no more than two teams per season (having already played for Falkirk F.C. and Hamilton Academical), because of this Apollon lost the game in cards 0-3 and had 1 point deducted. The case is now in CAS, while the appeal for provisional measures has been declined.

[edit] International

He has appeared in 20 matches with the Austria national football team and has scored 5 international goals.
