Right-back Zé Carlos, 28 years old, moved from Gil Vicente to Rio Ave. The player, who was the former captain of the Barcelos team, was officially announced by his new club on Thursday.
The defender signed a contract valid for two seasons, meaning until 2028. The transfer was made on a free transfer, since the player's contract with Gil Vicente had expired.
This move represents the end of a multi-year cycle at Gil Vicente, where Zé Carlos wore the captain's armband and was a reference point in the squad. The player now arrives at Rio Ave to strengthen the defensive sector of the Minho team.
