Callum Penman, a native-born Scottish lad from the class of 2007, has made his mark in Scottish football as a diligent defender. At eighteen years of age, Penman primarily dons the left-back position for his current team, St Mirren. Standing at 5ft 9in (1.76m) tall and weighing in at 10st 3lb (65kg), he carries the number 28 emblazoned on his jersey.
In July of the year 2022, Penman made the leap from his local terrain to that of St Mirren, a team competing in Scotland's formidable Premiership. His debut season in St Mirren colours, which spanned the period of 2024 to 2025, saw him entering the field of play in a total of four league matches as a first-team player. During the course of the 2025 to 2026 season, we will see Penman appearing for St Mirren.
An interesting turn of events took place in February 2025 when Penman was transferred on a temporary basis from his St Mirren berth in the Premiership to Arbroath, a team competing in Scotland's Championship tier. This footballer's journey, it seems, involves not just the highs but also a brief stint negotiating the twists and turns of less glamorous environs.
Come June 2025, Penman's loan tenure at Arbroath came full circle and he returned to his original stomping grounds at St Mirren, back in the bosom of Scotland's Premiership. His exploits during his debut season in 2024 to 2025 had indeed been noteworthy with his four appearances as a first-team player out in league matches burnishing his footballing CV. The prospect of him playing once more for St Mirren in the 2025 to 2026 season provides an element of continuity to this young player's journey.
Penman's fluid involvement in Scottish football extended to the Scottish Cup where he contributed to the 2024 to 2025 campaign with St Mirren, marking his presence in the starting lineup on one occasion.
