Career
[edit]Puch is a youth product of Sevran FC, FC Villepinte, Torcy and Montfermeil, before moving to the reserves of AC Ajaccio in 2021.[2] On 25 August 2022, he signed a professional contract with the club for 5 years.[3] He made his professional debut with Ajaccio as a late substitute in a 3–0 Ligue 1 loss to Nice on 10 February 2023.[4]
On 12 November 2025, Puch signed for Spanish third tier team Hércules for a 1-year deal with extension clause.[5] He was technically assigned to the reserve squad initially, but never made an appearance for the reserves, debuting for the main squad after the league registration window opened in January.
International career
