Penedo began his career with Estudiantes de Panamá F.C. and made his first team debut in 2000. He also played in Panamá for Plaza Amador and Árabe Unido. In his first season with Árabe Unido, Penedo helped the club to the apertura and clausura titles. In summer 2005 he almost joined Italian club Cagliari[2] but he was not approved by the club at the end due some problems with medical exams. The following season, he moved to Spain to play for Osasuna B[3] in Segunda División B. After one season in Spain, Penedo returned to Central America, signing in Guatemala for Municipal.[4] During his time with Municipal Penedo claimed four league titles.

On 5 August 2013, the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup Bronze medal-winning goalkeeper signed with the LA Galaxy.[5][6] He made his Galaxy debut on 7 August 2013 in a mid-season friendly against AC Milan in the inaugural International Champions Cup.[7] Penedo and the LA Galaxy terminated his contract and parted ways on 29 July 2015.
