A right-handed occasional medium-pace bowler and batsman, he was chiefly recognised for his fielding, being described by The Guardian as 'one of the best fielders to have graced the county game'. http://www. guardian. co. uk/frontpage/story/0,16518,1596281,00. html. On September 22, 2005, he announced his retirement from first class cricket to become an assistant coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team. Penney is the current fielding coach of the Indian Cricket team and is currently working under Duncan Fletcher. On 14 May 2007, the WACA announced Penney's appointment as assistant coach of the Western Warriors under Tom Moody for the next three years.
