[edit] Biography
[edit] Club career
Denni had a contract with Santo André until 2008, and played for a number of other clubs on loan. Denni trialled with French side RC Strasbourg at the end of 2006 but was unsuccessful in gaining a position at the club.[1] He did not have permission to leave Santo André and the club stated that they would take legal action against him.[2]
The Newcastle Jets formally announced Denni's signing on 17 August 2007 at a press conference in Newcastle.[3] He made his A-League debut on 26 August 2007 against Perth Glory.[4] His only goal came from a cross from Matt Thompson to set him up with a volley against Melbourne Victory. He was released by Newcastle at the end of 2008 after finishing the season as champions. He is currently playing for Valletta FC.
