"I've been here for a while now so the opportunity to extend my stay was something I jumped at," Wallace told the Glamorgan website.
"I love playing for Glamorgan. It's something I wanted to do since I was a kid so I'm very happy to be doing it for a little bit longer.
"We've made some good signings to bolster the squad in different areas this season and there's a few guys in the academy now who weren't born when I made my debut.
"It's a good blend though and we've a good size of squad with competition for places."
