Club Career

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

On 10 July 2012, after spending three full seasons with the farm team, Coch was promoted to Nastic's main roster alongside Sergio Lopez, Nono, Eugeni and his cousin Joel Coch. 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 Gimnastic, netting the first through a free kick in a 2–1 home win over Valencia CF Mestalla.
