Club career

A product of local Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS), Pennanen made his senior début on 29 April 2007, aged 16, against VIFK. A month later, he was a starter against PK-35. That season he appeared in 13 first-team matches. In February 2009 Pennanen signed a two-year contract with the Dutch team Twente along with teammate Tuomas Rannankari.

After not making a single appearance for the Twente's first-team, Pennanen left the Dutch champions during winter 2011 and signed with TPS.[1] He signed with RoPS before the 2014 season.[2]

On 14 January 2020, Pennanen left KuPS and signed a contract with Indonesian Liga 1 club Persikabo 1973.[3]

In 2021, Pennanen joined USL Championship side Sacramento Republic.[4] Pennanen was released by Sacramento following the 2021 season.[5]

On 14 December 2021, he signed a three-year contract with Ilves.[6]

On 23 July 2023, Indian Super League club Hyderabad announced the signing of Pennanen on a one-year deal.[7] In February 2024, Pennanen terminated his contract with Hyderabad due to unpaid salaries.[8]

On 28 February 2024, Pennanen returned to Finland and Kuopio after signing a one-year deal with his hometown club KuPS, with an option to extend for one more.[9]
