Zé Carlos, a 28-year-old right-back, officially became a Rio Ave player, leaving Gil Vicente where he was the team captain. The player left Barcelos, the city where Gil Vicente is based, to represent the new club.
The defender held the captain's armband at Gil Vicente, demonstrating his importance in the team's structure. His experience as captain gives him leadership background for the new challenge at Rio Ave.
Before his spell at Gil Vicente, Zé Carlos had a Cup victory with Sporting Braga on his record. This achievement represents one of the most important moments of his sporting career.
At 28 years old, the player finds himself at an intermediate point in his career, ready to bring his experience and quality to Rio Ave, a club that competes in the Portuguese First League.
