Hailing from Hérault, Verdier began his football career at Castelnau Le Crès. After playing for the Béziers under-19s, he signed for Châteauroux in 2022, being initially assigned to the reserve team. He went on to score seven goals in seventeen games in the Championnat National 3, earning him call-ups to play for the first team in the Championnat National in the second half of the 2022–23 season. At the end of the season, Verdier left Châteauroux on a free transfer to sign for Ligue 2 club Rodez.

An ambidextrous player, he has been described as having "above-average technical quality". In August 2023, Rodez manager Didier Santini praised Verdier's technical skills, hold-up play, and movement off the ball.
