Wylie spent 13 years at Greenock Morton, making over 500 appearances and winning two league titles (First and Second Division).
His only spell out of senior football saw him spend the 2001–02 season at Renfrewshire junior side, Renfrew.
He returned to Morton as a goalkeeping coach, a role which he also performed at St Mirren whilst he was playing for Renfrew.
He featured on the bench as a trialist against Ayr United in 2009 due to injuries to Kevin Cuthbert, Colin Stewart and Bryn Halliwell.
Due to rules on trialists in the Scottish League Cup, Wylie had to be re-registered as a player for the second round defeat to Kilmarnock.
