Russell Anthony Penn (born 8 November 1985) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League club Gateshead.
Born in Dudley, West Midlands, Penn began his career at Birmingham City in their youth system in July 2001. He joined the youth system at Kidderminster Harriers in March 2002, and appeared in one youth team match against Wellington on 7 March before joining Scunthorpe United's youth system in July 2002.
He joined Kidderminster Harriers on a free transfer in the summer of 2005; shortly after he joined he had a short spell on loan at Alvechurch before breaking into the Kidderminster side.
Penn joined newly promoted League Two club Burton Albion on 9 July 2009 on a two-year contract, for an undisclosed fee thought to be a club record. He scored his first goal for Burton on 15 August 2009 in a 5–2 win over Morecambe.
Penn signed for League Two club Cheltenham Town on a two-year contract on 23 May 2011, after he rejected a new contract with Burton. He scored his first goal for Cheltenham in an FA Cup second-round match away at Luton Town in December 2011, followed quickly by his second goal a week later in a home League Two game against Southend United.
On 7 January 2013, Penn turned in a man of the match performance and scored the home side's goal (his third for Cheltenham) in a 1–5 FA Cup third-round defeat at the hands of Everton, a scoreline that flattered the Premier League side. Following the departure of club captain Alan Bennett in the January 2013 transfer window, Penn was named the new club captain by Cheltenham manager Mark Yates.
Penn signed for Cheltenham's League Two rivals York City on 6 January 2014 on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
