Tyler Jake Denton (born 6 September 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for National League North club Scunthorpe United.
[6] He made his first-team debut on 23 August, when he started at left-back in an EFL Cup fixture against Luton Town; he scored the only goal of the game and was subsequently named in the competition's team of the second round.
[12] On 7 August 2017, Denton joined EFL League Two side Port Vale on loan for the 2017–18 season, with a recall clause option in January.
[16] Prior to joining Peterborough, Denton was subject of a loan offer from Italian Serie B Side Brescia, owned by previous Leeds owner Massimo Cellino.
[24] He missed the start of the season due to injury and was only able to feature in one game before manager Dino Maamria was sacked and replaced by Graham Westley.
[25] He played 19 games for "Boro" in the 2019–20 season as the club were relegated after finishing bottom of the English Football League and was released by new manager Alex Revell in June 2020.
[26] On 10 October 2020, Denton signed with National League side Chesterfield after training with the "Spireties"; manager John Pemberton said he had "been recruited to help the balance of the team [as] we needed a left-sided player to share the workload".
[31][35] Upon Denton's departure from the club, owner Stephen Cleeve said that the player's travel time from his home in York was a factor in his decision to leave King's Lynn.
