Born in Leicester, Verma came through the Foxes’ academy before dropping into non-League football.

A string of impressive performances for Bedworth United and Redditch United saw Leicester City 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 National League with Mansfield Town and was followed by a move abroad where 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 back with Kettering and then 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 two seasons with Tamworth where he made 60 appearances for the Lambs, scoring 6 times.
