Yannis Verdier (born 29 July 2003) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 2 club Rodez.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

Hailing from Hérault, Verdier began his football career at Castelnau Le Crès.[1] After playing for the Béziers under-19s, he signed for Châteauroux in 2022, being initially assigned to the reserve team.[2] 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.[1][2] At the end of the season, Verdier left Châteauroux on a free transfer to sign for Ligue 2 club Rodez.[3]

Style of play

[edit]

Standing at a height of 1.89 meters, Verdier plays as a forward,[1] and is capable of operating both down the center and on the wings.[3] An ambidextrous player, he has been described as having "above-average technical quality".[4] In August 2023, Rodez manager Didier Santini praised Verdier's technical skills, hold-up play, and movement off the ball.[2]

Personal life

[edit]

Born in France, Verdier is of Algerian descent.[2]
