Dender E.H.|Dender EH]].
==Club career== Verrips began playing youth football for [[SBV Vitesse|Vitesse]]. In 2011 he moved to [[PSV Eindhoven|PSV]], where he rose through the [[Jong PSV|youth teams]] in his two years at the club.
After leaving PSV, Verrips signed a one-year deal with [[FC Twente]] where, after a season in the [[Jong FC Twente|youth team]], he signed his first professional contract in 2014. However, having played no first team games for Twente, he joined [[Eredivisie]] side [[Sparta Rotterdam]].
During his first season at Sparta Rotterdam, Verrips made appearances mainly for the second team, [[Jong Sparta]]. He made his Eredivisie debut for Sparta Rotterdam on 14 May 2017 in a game against [[Go Ahead Eagles]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Soccerway|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2017/05/14/netherlands/eredivisie/stichting-go-ahead-eagles/sparta-rotterdam-bv/2240561/|title=Game Report by Soccerway|date=14 May 2017}}</ref> At the beginning of the [[2017–18 Eerste Divisie|2017–18 season]], Verrips signed on loan for [[MVV Maastricht|Maastricht]].
