Wayne started his career with local side Swindon Supermarine, before moving on the Witney Town and Forest Green Rovers in 1999. He remained at Forest Green for two season and in 2001, achieved notoriety by scoring a classic own goal in an FA Cup tie against Morecambe. Despite this, his form came to the attention of a number of League sides, and he moved to Oxford United for £35,000 in December 2000. He made over 50 appearances before moving to Chester City in the summer of 2002. Kidderminster then paid £8,000 for the solid central defender in October 2003, and he established himself as club captain, and earning a three year contract at Aggborough.

Wayne joined Diamonds on 18 January 2006 during the transfer window for a fee reported to be £8,000. Manager Barry Hunter was looking to strengthen the defence and bring in some experience in an effort to keep Diamonds in the Football League. The defender scored his first goal at Bury the following month demonstrating his fierce free kick with a goal from 35 yards out. During the 2007/2008 season, the 32-year old defender made 22 League appearances; scoring three goals for Diamonds, with his final goal for the club in the 1-0 home win over Northwich Victoria on 29 December 2007. On 17 January 2008, he left the club to join Cambridge United in a five figure fee, reported to be £20,000.

After just one year however, he was released by mutual agreement at the end of December to join up with Dean Holdsworth at Conference side Newport County, taking up a player / coaching role from January 2011.
