Career & Clubs

Club career

Pennant, a centre forward with strong aerial game, began his professional career with Tipografía Nacional in 1969, where he played along his two brothers, before he moved to Cementos Novella, where he was joint top scorer of the 1972 league season, and sole top scorer the following year. As Cementos Novella disappeared after the 1973 season due to lack of sponsorship, Pennant joined Aurora F.C., where he would excel as well as he was top scorer again in the 1975 season with 33 goals, tied with Municipal's Julio César Anderson, and leading the team to their fourth ever national championship and first since 1968. Aurora went on to win the 1976 Copa Fraternidad by beating some of the best teams in Central America, including defending champions Platense, thanks in good part to the attacking duo Pennant and René Morales each contributing with a tournament-high seven goals to the successful run. Pennant's domestic and international exploits prompted Chilean Club Deportes Aviación to require his services. Coach Hernán Carrasco Vivanco brought Pennant to Aviación for the 1977 season, and in his first year there, the striker scored seven goals in the league and two in the domestic cup. The following season, Pennant scored another seven goals, as Aviación improved to an 8th-place finish. Pennant's best season in Chilean football was his third (1979), when he scored ten league goals – seven of which came in the first seven matches, including a hat-trick against Everton de Viña del Mar.…
