Denver Grainger-Barras started off at his local club Kalamunda, progressing through Auskick, before Swan Districts development coaches invited him to train with their club. Playing in the colts competition he would later step up into the seniors while still eligible for the underage competition.

He was injured in his first senior game requiring shoulder surgery.

Named in the 2018 under 16s All Australian team he represented Australia playing against New Zealand.
