Born in Leicester, Leicestershire, Verma started his career at Leicester City in their youth academy however he failed to break into the first team squad and was eventually released.[1] After his release he played for Conference North side Redditch United.
In December 2008, Verma rejoined his former club Leicester on trial, where he did enough to secure a six-month contract.[2] In May 2009, he was given a one-year contract extension.[2] On 6 August 2009, Verma joined Crewe Alexandra on trial,[3] joining on 10 August on loan for three months.[1] He made his debut a day later in a 2–1 League Cup defeat to Blackpool, replacing James Bailey at half time.[4] He made his league debut in a 4–0 win at Grimsby Town on 15 August,[5] but returned to Leicester on 3 November, two-weeks early having fallen out of favour at Crewe.[6] Verma had his first call up to the main Leicester squad as an unused substitute in a 2–1 win at Blackpool on 6 February 2010.[7]
He joined Conference National club Histon on loan for the remainder of the 2009–10 season on 26 March 2010,[8] In May 2010, Verma was awarded with another contract extension by Leicester.[9] He finally made his senior debut for the club as a substitute in a 4–3 League Cup win over Macclesfield on 10 August 2010.[10] On 11 August, Verma was part of the reserves squad that won the Totesport.com Cup in a 2–1 win over Oldham Athletic reserves at Quorn FC.[11]
On 27 August 2010, he joined Conference National club Kidderminster Harriers on loan for a month.[12] However, he returend to Leicester after breaking his hand during his debut against Newport County.[13] On 19 November, Verma joined Darlington on loan until January 2011.[14]
Leicester City confirmed on 14 May 2011 that Verma would not be offered a new contract when it expires on 30 June 2011.[15]
Histon
Verma agreed a one-year deal with Conference National side Kettering Town on 21 July 2011.[16]

On 6 June 2014, Verma signed a one-year contract with Kidderminster.[19] He scored his first goal on 4 October 2014, in a 1–1 draw at home to AFC Telford. His second goal came in a 1–1 draw at home to Wrexham, Verma scoring from 30 yards in the 2nd minute.
