Verma, who was born in Leicester, came through the Foxes’ academy before dropping into non-League football but a string of impressive performances for Bedworth United and Redditch United saw Leicester come back in for the powerful midfielder.

After several loan spells, Verma was again released by his home-town club.

A season with Kettering Town included a loan spell in the Vanarama National League with Mansfield Town and was followed by a move abroad.

He was tempted to Malta where former England captain Mark Wright signed him for Floriana, where he scored 4 times in 14 appearances.

Upon returning to England, Verma spent brief spells with Kettering and Stockport County before joining Corby Town for a season, scoring 7 times in 21 matches.

Two seasons with Kidderminster Harriers preceded a stint at Torquay United before spending the past two seasons with local rivals Tamworth where he made over 60 appearances for the Lambs, scoring 6 times.

Meanwhile, Boro have confirmed that goalkeeper Ty Belford has left the club.

Ty, who is the brother of Boro captain Cameron, has joined Total Motion Midland League Division One side Hinckley AFC, where his brother Courtney is manager.

Belford, who had a previous spell with the club in 2017, returned to Nuneaton in January, but didn’t appear in goal during the run in.

He, did however, make 4 substitute appearances towards the end of the season in an attacking role as the Boro’s squad suffered a spate of injuries.

The former Swindon Town ‘keeper agreed not to take a fee for his time last season as the club struggled through a financial crisis.
