Joey Veerman was born on November 19, 1998, in Purmerend in the Dutch province of North Holland. He completed nearly his entire soccer training at FC Volendam, where he also made his professional debut at the age of 17. It became clear early on that the midfielder had something special. In his first three years, he quickly established himself as a regular starter at Volendam and tallied 22 points in 81 competitive matches.
In 2019, Veerman left his hometown club and the team where he had developed his skills, making the move to SC Heerenveen in the Dutch Eredivisie. There, he established himself as the playmaker in central midfield. In his first season at Heerenveen, he recorded nine direct goal contributions in the Netherlands' top division; the following season, that number had already risen to 17.
In January 2022, he finally moved on to top-tier club PSV Eindhoven, where Joey Veerman would go on to make his breakthrough on the international stage as well. Roger Schmidt, PSV's head coach at the time, spoke highly of Veerman: "He always has good ideas, makes good decisions under pressure, and always looks ahead."
In Eindhoven, too, it didn't take Veerman long to establish himself. His ability to accelerate the play from deep, outwit opposing defenses with precise passes, and set up attacks with a single touch was a perfect fit for Eindhoven's dominant style of soccer. Under former BVB coach Peter Bosz, at the latest, he became a true game-changer at PSV.
In February and March 2024, Veerman took the field twice with PSV against Borussia Dortmund when the two teams faced off in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. In total, Veerman has played 44 times in European competition so far.
