On 19 July 2017, Penny signed for League One club Peterborough United on a three-year contract after a successful trial.[20] The undisclosed fee set a new record for a transfer fee received by Nuneaton.[21] On 5 August 2017, he made his Football League debut as an 89th-minute substitute in Peterborough's 2–1 home win over Plymouth Argyle, on the opening day of 2017–18.[22] He made his first start for the club three days later, playing the first 68 minutes of a 3–1 home defeat to Barnet in the EFL Cup.[22]

On 6 June 2018, Penny signed for Scottish Premiership club Hamilton Academical for an undisclosed fee.[23] His contract was mutually terminated in May 2019.[24]

On 5 February 2022, he scored the only Kidderminster goal against West Ham in the FA Cup fourth round[26] and went on to extend his deal to the summer of 2023 in April 2022.[27] Penny was subsequently named in the 2021-22 National League North Team of the Season.[28] Following promotion back to the National league during the 2022/23 season, Penny signed a new one-year deal with Kidderminster running through till 2023/24 season[29]
