Veenod started off as a striker in his early days with Penang before Selangor's former head coach Irfan Bakti tried him out as a defensive midfielder in 2012 Malaysia Cup.

In 2008, Veenod made a huge break into Penang first team. In 2011, Veenod signed a contract with USM.[8] During 2012 Malaysia Cup campaign he was loaned to Selangor and made 6 appearances and 1 goal during the tournament.[9]
On 7 November 2012, it was announced that Veenod moved to Selangor permanently from USM for the 2013 Malaysia Super League.[10]
On 22 November 2017, Veenod signed a two-year contract with Kelantan.[11][12] On 6 February 2018, Veenod made his debut for Kelantan in a 1–1 draw against Terengganu coming off from the bench for Nik Akif. He was released by Kelantan in April 2018.
