Wardrop started his career at Celtic, and captained the club's Under-20s to victory in the 2017 Scottish Youth Cup final.[1]
On 1 August 2017, Wardrop joined Scottish Championship club Dumbarton on loan, until May 2018.[2] He scored his first senior goal, the winner, against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in September 2017.[3]
Wardrop signed a two-year contract with Dundee United on 31 May 2018.[4] After suffering an injury that ruled out a potential loan return to Dumbarton in January 2019, he rejoined the club on loan in January 2020[5] playing seven times prior to the season being ended early by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
Wardrop was then released by United in May 2020[7] and signed a permanent contract with Dumbarton.[8] He left the club after one season in June 2021[9] and subsequently signed a one-year contract with Airdrieonians[10] but left just two months into the season for personal reasons.[11]
Wardrop was selected for the Scotland U17 team in the UEFA under-17 Championship in 2014,[12] where the Netherlands beat them in the semi finals.[13]
He was selected for the under-20 squad in the 2017 Toulon Tournament.[14] After a historic first ever win against Brazil, which was at any level.[15] Scotland later won the bronze medal.[16] It was the nations first ever medal at the competition.[17]
Wardrop attended Bearsden Academy.[18]
