Pannekoek emerged as a talent from the FC Groningen youth academy in 2005, but did not manage to make his breakthrough for the first team. After a two-year stint with Eerste Divisie club Emmen, he moved to Hoofdklasse club PKC '83 in June 2009 where he would play while studying in Groningen.^[1]

In March 2011, it was announced that Pannekoek would move up a division, as he signed with third-tier club Harkemase Boys.^[2] After one season, he left after suffering a series of injuries.^[3] He joined his childhood club VIBOA afterwards, while taking over his father's jewellery store, Juwelier Pannekoek in Winsum, together with his sister Annemiek.^[4] In 2016, he continued with VV Winssum after VIBOA has merged with Hunsingo, and continued playing in the Eerste Klasse.^[5]
