Template:Spanish name 2 José Verdú Nicolás, aka Toché (born January 1, 1983 in Murcia), is a Spanish football attacking midfielder (or striker) who currently plays for Albacete Balompié of the Spanish second division.
Toché came up through the ranks of Atlético de Madrid, making his first team debut in 2003-04, in a 0-0 home draw to Deportivo de La Coruña. The following season he was loaned to CD Numancia, where he appeared in only five matches as the side from Soria was eventually relegated.
Toché spent the following seasons on loan at Hércules CF and Real Valladolid (both in the second level), returning to Numancia for 2007-08, and appearing sporadically as it achieved promotion.
On December 30, 2008, after having taken almost no part in the top flight campaign with the Soria side, Toché left for second level team Albacete Balompié, signing a contract for the rest of the season and the next one.
