[edit] Football career

Zé Carlos received the nickname Zé of the Goal while he played at Botafogo. In this team, he was champion of the 1997 Campeonato Carioca and the 1998 Torneio Rio-São Paulo. His quick feet and stunning finishes have distinguised him as a fantastic footballer especially whilst he played in SC Braga, Portugal.

In January 2002, he left for Turkish side Malatyaspor.[1] In January 2003, he returned to Brazil for Flamengo, another Rio de Janeiro club.

In January 2004, he left Brazil again, this time for South Korean side Pohang Steelers.[2]

In January 2005, he signed a one year contract with Juventude.[3]

In January 2006, he left for Portuguese side Marítimo.[4]

He was signed by S.C. Braga in May 2006.[5] He signed a two-year contract with APOEL FC on 12 July 2007.[6]

He has spent half the season at APOEL FC recovering from injuries, getting some vital game time here and there. It is now that Ze Carlos has overcome his injuries and has delighted fans especially whilst winning the rival match against AC Omonia by gaining the penalty. He is considered a big talent and plays younger than his age.
