Career

Denwood started his career in the 1923–24 season, when he joined Bacup Borough of the Lancashire Combination. In February 1925, he was signed by Football League Third Division North side New Brighton. He made his professional debut on 7 March 1925 in the 0–5 defeat away to Nelson. He spent much of his time with New Brighton in the reserve team, making only five League appearances for the club.

At the start of the following season, Denwood was offered a two-month trial period with Nelson. He played in two pre-season exhibition matches and subsequently played in three Football League fixtures, making his debut for the club in the 2–1 win over Crewe Alexandra. Two days later, he appeared in the 1–5 defeat to Ashington, and his final Nelson game came on 5 September 1925 in the 0–1 loss to Lincoln City. After the match, he left the club after failing to secure an extension to his trial contract. He then spent the remainder of the 1925–26 campaign without a club.

In the summer of 1926, Denwood joined Cheshire League outfit Witton Albion and the following season, he played amateur football with the Heywood Street United Methodists. In September 1928, Denwood returned to the Lancashire Combination with Horwich RMI. He again only stayed one season before leaving to play for Heywood St James, where he ended his playing career.

gollark: It's only 50% more cores than previously. And the chiplet-y design is meant to make it easy to shove extra cores on if you don't care about power much.
