Verhaegh began his career at PSV Eindhoven, making 33 league appearances while on loan at AGOVV Apeldoorn. He then moved to FC Den Bosch in 2004, making 32 league appearances, before finally moving to Vitesse after the 2004–05 season.[3] After four years, he left Vitesse Arnhem and signed a two-year contract with FC Augsburg on 27 May 2010.
After having spent seven years with FC Augsburg, Verhaegh switched to VfL Wolfsburg, after agreeing to a two-year deal.[4]
