The 21-year-old versatile defender joins the women of steel following two successive spells in the Scottish capital with both Hearts and local Edinburgh rivals Hibernian.

The youthful defender already maintains an impressive CV within the pinnacle of the Scottish game – receiving international caps at U16, U17 and U19 age categories whilst also securing an impressive SWPL2 title victory with Aberdeen in 2021.

Capable of operating across both the right and centre of defence, Penman strengthens the defensive options available to Head Coach Paul Brownlie, as the women of steel prepare for an ambitious top-six finish this season.
