The Addis Ababa-based club Ethiopian Coffee was Panom's first professional club when he made his debut for them in 2012. After making many appearances and becoming a regular starter, his form with the club earned him his first call up to the Ethiopia national team in 2014.[2] In June 2017, Panom become the first Ethiopian player to complete a transfer directly from an Ethiopian club to a Russian club when he made his move to FC Anzhi Makhachkala.[3]

On 22 February 2018, Panom signed with Ethiopian Premier League debutantes Mekelle City FC on a contract that would keep him at the club until the end of the season. Due to a lingering muscle injury Panom had to sit out the first few games with the club until making his debut on 11 April 2018 against Jimma Aba Jifar FC.[8]
In July 2018, El Gouna announced the signing of Panom.[9]
