Career

Born in Tarragona, Catalonia, Coch was a product of local Gimnàstic de Tarragona. In June 2010, while still a youth player, he was called to train with the first team to cover for injured players. [2] On 19 June he made his debut with the main squad, replacing fellow youth graduate Fran Vélez in the 82nd minute of a 1–0 away defeat against UD Las Palmas in the Segunda División championship. [3]

On 10 July 2012, after spending three full seasons with the farm team, Coch was promoted to Nàstic's main roster alongside Sergio López, Ñoño, Eugeni and his cousin Joel Coch. [4] During the campaign he appeared in 13 matches (nine starts, 781 minutes of action), as the club missed out on promotion play-off qualification.

On 20 October 2013, Coch scored his first goal for Gimnàstic, netting the first through a free kick in a 2–1 home win over Valencia CF Mestalla. [5] He was later linked to that opponent in January of the following year, [6] but the deal collapsed. [7]

In July 2014, Coch joined neighbouring CE L'Hospitalet. [8] On 14 July 2016, he moved to fellow third-tier club CF Badalona still in his native region. [9]

Personal life

Coch's family was widely related to football. His father Enric was a goalkeeper, while his uncles Ramón and Santi were a forward and a defender, respectively; his two cousins, Denis and Joel, also represented Pobla. [10]
