Wales, a striker, started his career at Hamilton. In 35 games he scored 11 goals before moving to Hearts for £50,000. In five years at Tynecastle, Wales scored 17 goals in 92 appearances. He was then sent out on loan to Walsall before subsequently signing for Gillingham and then Kilmarnock, where he was re-united with former Hearts manager Jim Jefferies.
