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. He signed with RoPS before the 2014 season.

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

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

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, reuniting with his former coach Jani Honkavaara. On 24 July, his deal was extended for the 2025. On 21 September, Pennanen helped his team to win the 2024 Finnish Cup title by scoring a brace in the final in a 2–1 win against Inter Turku.
