Before football, Vallance was a rower. He was noted as being abnormally tall for the times but was only around six feet two inches. He played at right-back for the Rangers from 1874 to 1882. He left Scotland on 22 February 1882 to take a position in Calcutta. He embarked on a career in the tea plantations of Assam but returned after a year suffering from blackwater fever.

Vallance was also capped at international level, making seven appearances for Scotland between 1877 and 1881.
