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] He was then released by United in May 2020[7] and signed a permanent contract with Dumbarton.[8]
