José Carlos Teixeira Lopes dos Reis Gonçalves (born 31 July 1998), known as Zé Carlos, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Primeira Liga club Gil Vicente.

Club career[edit]

Born in Lousada, Porto District, Zé Carlos spent most of his youth career with Leixões S.C. before beginning as a senior in the lower leagues with S.C. Salgueiros and Leça FC.[2] In January 2018 he returned to Leixões on a 21⁄2-year deal to cover the injury of Edu Machado.[3] He made his professional debut in LigaPro on 8 February in a 1–0 win against Varzim S.C. at home.[4]

On 30 July 2020, Zé Carlos signed a four-year contract with Primeira Liga club S.C. Braga.[2] He played his first match in the competition on 28 December, coming on as a 50th-minute substitute for Nuno Sequeira in the 4–1 away victory over Boavista FC.[5]

Zé Carlos spent the following two seasons on loan, at Gil Vicente FC (twice)[6][7] and UD Ibiza (Spanish Segunda División).[8] In his first spell at the former, he was a key member of a Ricardo Soares-led side that qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League – first ever in their history – after a fifth-place finish.[9][7]

On 21 June 2023, Braga announced the transfer of Zé Carlos to Gil Vicente on a permanent basis, while retaining 50% of the player's economic rights;[10] he agreed to a three-year deal.[11]
