Gary Wales (born 4 January 1979) is a Scottish former professional football player.
Career
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, scoring once against Nottingham Forest,[1] before subsequently signing for Gillingham (scoring once against Coventry City)[2] and then Kilmarnock, where he was re-united with former Hearts manager Jim Jefferies.
After leaving Kilmarnock in the summer of 2008, Wales signed a short-term deal with Raith Rovers. Wales settled to become a regular goalscorer.[3] In April 2009, with Raith he won the Scottish Second Division championship, Wales left the club to pursue an opportunity in Australia.[4] Towards the end of May 2009, Wales joined North Queensland Fury on their pre-season tour of Singapore.[5]
