Tom Ashley Denton (born July 24, 1989 in Shepley, England) is a professional footballer currently playing for Huddersfield Town in Football League One.

He first came to public attention when he was offered a trial at Premier League side Blackburn Rovers. He managed to score a goal for their reserve team. After his trial was completed, he was being looked at by Rovers, Championship side Crystal Palace and his hometown team Huddersfield Town.

On August 15, 2008, Huddersfield beat off the competition and signed Denton from Northern Premier League Division One North side Wakefield for a fee of £60,000 ,possibly totalling upto £100,000. Many people refer to Denton as "the non-league Peter Crouch", mainly because he is 6' 7" tall.
