Born in Saint-Pol-sur-Mer, near Dunkirk in the North of France, Florian Verhaeghe and his family moved to Montauban when he was aged only 4.

[2][3] Verhaeghe started playing with Toulouse's senior team during the 2016–17 season, notably starting his first game on the 6 May 2017, during a home Top 14 win against Bayonne, that would also prove to be the legend Thierry Dusautoir last game.

There, after a season where he was often injured, whilst still managing to start the Challenge Cup victorious final with MHR,[4] Verhaeghe really became a key element of his team during the 2021–22 Top 14 season.

[5] Already an under-18 European champion and a captain with the under-20 for France,[2][3] Verhaeghe was first called to the French national senior team by Fabien Galthié on the 18 October 2021, for the autumn internationals.
