Joan Verdú Fernández is a Spanish footballer who currently plays for Real Betis as a midfielder.
His career took its start at Barcelona where he passed through the youth ranks and soon had his contract with the reserve team signed. He made his senior debuts on December 7, 2004 in an away game where Barça encountered Shakhtar Donetsk.
In the season 2006/07 Joan joined Deportivo de la Coruña apparently not having enough playing time. The footballer was given relatively more opportunities there and he paid back with a goal to Villarreal earning a comfortable 2-0 victory for his side. The same efficiency and the amount of playing time figured in Verdú’s next season record.
In the season 2008/09 Joan showed a truly outstanding performance overcoming his fellow-position Juan Carlos Valerón – the main rival for the place in the starting line-up. Having repeated the level of efficiency of the previous year he contributed with seven more goals than in past season. However as soon the midfielder played 3 years defined by his contract the club refused to provide an extension of the footballer’s contract and soon he penned a four-year deal with a Catalan side Espanyol on a free transfer.
On September 19, 2009 Joan Verdú scored against his previous team in a spectacular 3-2 away triumph thus marking his debut match for the new team. As well as in Deportivo de la Coruña his main rival for a position in the starting eleven missed out again rendering Joan a good chance to win a permanent place on an entry list of the club from Barcelona. His rival Iván de la Peña recovered from different injuries over a two seasons period and Verdú never missed his chance appearing in 37 games and scoring 5 times in his second campaign. All in all the midfielder took the pitch 144 times scoring 23 goals for his side.
Since the summer 2013 he has played for Real Betis.
