At international level, Denchev was Bulgaria's second-choice goalkeeper, behind Ivan Karadzhov at the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.

Career

Denchev started his playing career at Lokomotiv Plovdiv's youth system, before moving to Spartak Plovdiv, where he made his first-team debut in the Bulgarian second division. Petar made his debut during the 2007–08 season on 3 November 2007 in a 0–1 away loss against Volov Shumen.

In June 2008, Denchev signed a three-year contract with newly promoted A PFG side Sliven 2000.

On 23 June 2010, Denchev joined Cherno More Varna as cover for Ilko Pirgov.[3] He made his debut, coming on as a substitute for Marco Tiago after Pirgov's sending-off against Montana on 23 October, but was powerless to stop the rivals from scoring two times in a 4–0 loss at the Ogosta Stadium. Denchev took over as Cherno More's first-choice goalkeeper, when Pirgov was transferred to Litex Lovech in December 2011. He made 12 league appearances for the team during the second half of the A PFG season. In May 2012, Denchev sustained a serious injury, which kept him out of action for a number of months. He recovered in mid-September 2012[4] and in January 2013 signed a contract with Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[5]

In the summer of 2014 he signed a contract with Navbahor Namangan and moved as a free agent to Uzbek League club to play the second half of the season.

On 28 December 2016, Denchev joined Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa[6] but left the club at the end of the season following their relegation to the Second League.[7]
