Mariah Denman (nee Storch, born 21 June 1997) is an Australian rugby league footballer who plays for the Central Queensland Capras in the QRL Women's Premiership and the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL Women's Premiership.
Primarily a second-rower, she is a Queensland representative and previously played in two grand final wins for the Brisbane Broncos.
Born in Barcaldine, Queensland in the central west, Denman moved 385 kilometres east to the mining town of Blackwater after her parents obtained work in the local coal industry.[1] Denman attended school in Blackwater.[1] After graduating from high school, she became an apprentice diesel mechanic.[1]
She began playing rugby league with the newly formed Blackwater Crushettes in 2015.[2] In 2016, she was named as Blackwater's Player of the Year.[1] Storch subsequently began playing for the Central Queensland Capras, coached by Alan McIndoe before Adrian Vowles selected her as a wildcard for the emerging Queensland women's side.[1]
In 2020, Central Highlands Regional Council recognised Denman as Senior Sportsperson/Administrator of the Year for the Blackwater/Duaringa district at the local Australia Day awards.[3]
