Playing career

2016

In 2016, Denniss played for the Newcastle Knights' NYC team.[2] In round 3 of the 2016 NRL season, after just two games in the NYC, he was called up to make his NRL debut for the Knights against the Canberra Raiders after regular winger Akuila Uate was ruled out with injury.[3][4][5] He scored two tries on debut.[6] In July, he played for the New South Wales under-20s team against the Queensland under-20s team.[7] He finished his debut season having played in 7 matches and scoring 3 tries.[8] In November, he extended his contract with the Knights until the end of 2018.[9]

2017

2017 was a quieter year for Denniss, spending the entirety of the season in the Knights' lower grade sides.[10]

2018

After spending the first 12 rounds in the Knights' Intrust Super Premiership NSW side, Denniss was called up for a return to the NRL side, playing at centre against the Parramatta Eels in the Knights' 30-4 win.[11] He parted ways with the Knights at the end of the season.[12]

In December, Denniss signed a 2-year contract with the South Sydney Rabbitohs starting in 2019.[13]
