Born in Barcaldine, Queensland in the central west, Denman moved 385 kilometres east to the mining town of Blackwater after her parents obtained work in the local coal industry.
[1] In 2020, Central Highlands Regional Council recognised Denman as Senior Sportsperson/Administrator of the Year for the Blackwater/Duaringa district at the local Australia Day awards.
[6] In Round 1 of the 2018 NRL Women's season, she made her debut for the Broncos, coming off the bench in a 30–4 win over the St. George Illawarra Dragons.
[12][13] Less than two months after giving birth to her first child, Denman returned to the QRL Women's Premiership competition for the Capras, playing six games during the season.
[17] On her re-signing with the team, coach Scott Prince said Denman had been playing great football for a long period of time and therefore deserved to be rewarded with another chance in the NRLW.
