Verden was an impressive force in 2016/17 season captaining the Bath Academy throughout the year. His performances throughout the season saw him rewarded with a place in the England U18 squad for their summer tour of South Africa.[1] He made his first-team debut against Worcester Warriors in a 40-15 victory in the Premiership competition.[2]

On 11 December 2020, Verden joined Warriors on a short-term loan deal as injury cover.[3] He played twice against Pau and Ospreys in the European Rugby Challenge Cup.[4][5]

On 22 June 2021, Verden signed his first professional contract to stay with Bath at The Recreation Ground, thus promoted to the senior squad from the 2021-22 season.[6]
