ImageScoonie Penn will play for Virtus Bologna as least until January 2010, as he agreed with the Italian club on a 4-month contract.

Virtus hired the 32-year old, ex-player of Olympiacos, Cibona and Efes Pilsen, as a replacement for sidelined Andre Collins who is expected to have recovered until January. If of course Penn satisfies with his performance, an extension is not to be ruled out. Penn played for BC Kiev last season.
