Club career
Born in Maceió, Alagoas, Zé Carlos started out at local Sport Club Corinthians Alagoano, who loaned him several times for the duration of his contract, including to clubs in Portugal and South Korea. He made his Série A debuts after being released, appearing rarely for Associação Atlética Ponte Preta during the 2005 season as it narrowly avoided relegation.
In 2006, Zé Carlos returned to the K League and joined Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, winning that year's AFC Champions League after scoring the decisive goal in a 1–2 away loss against Al-Karamah SC in the final's second leg (3–2 aggregate win). He subsequently returned to Corinthians, who again successively loaned him; during one of these spells, with Cruzeiro Esporte Clube,[2] he received the fastest red card in the history of the Brazilian top flight, being sent off after just twelve seconds for elbowing Clube Atlético Mineiro's Renan Teixeira during a 12 July 2009 clash.[3]
In the 2012 campaign, with Criciúma Esporte Clube,[4] Zé Carlos netted a career-best 27 goals to help his team promote from Série B. On 3 February 2013, he signed for Changchun Yatai F.C. in the Chinese Super League.[5]
