Mark Wallace became the youngest wicketkeeper to play for Glamorgan when he made his debut in 1999 and forged a long and successful career with the Welsh county.
A popular figure, Wallace was renowned for alert glovework, deft catching and steady run scoring. Following his decision to retire he opens up on his time with the club.
"I've had a brilliant journey with Glamorgan from drawing daffodils on my schoolbooks as a kid to playing and captaining the club as an adult," said Wallace.
"I've been extremely fortunate to have been able to represent the club for so long and while I walk away with a heavy heart I'm delighted to be able to start the next chapter of my life with the PCA.
"I'm hugely thankful to the club for the opportunities they've given me, the supporters for enduring some of my performances and to my family and friends for their unwavering support.
"I've got a good feeling about the future for Glamorgan. There is an abundance of young talent ready to make their mark and I believe that success is around the corner.
"While it's odd to think I won't be part of that, I wish everyone associated with the club the upmost success for 2017 and beyond."
