Career

[edit]

Born in Goiânia, Goiás, Zé Vitor represented the youth sides of Atlético Goianiense, Iporá, Anapolina and Goiás as a youth.[1] In 2020, after finishing his formation, he moved to Portuguese side Fabril Barreiro, but joined Belenenses-SAD shortly after.

After only playing for their B-team, Zé Vitor signed for Vila Nova back in his home country on 5 April 2021,[2] but was loaned to Goianésia on 25 May.[3] Back to Vila on 12 September,[4] he moved to ABD also in a temporary deal on 7 October.[5]

In January 2022, Zé Vitor was loaned to CEOV for the 2022 Campeonato Mato-Grossense, but returned to Vila Nova in March.[6] He moved to São-Carlense in the following month, before being loaned out to Operário Ferroviário on 28 November.[7]

Back to São-Carlense in April 2023, after featuring rarely for Fantasma, Zé Vitor was a regular starter as the club narrowly missed out promotion in the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão, and was announced on loan at Maringá on 30 November 2023.[8] With the latter, he was a regular starter as they reached the 2024 Campeonato Paranaense finals.[1]

On 13 April 2024, Zé Vitor was announced at Série A side Athletico Paranaense, on a one-year loan deal with a buyout clause.[9] He made his club – and top tier – debut the following day, coming on as a late substitute for Agustín Canobbio in a 4–0 home routing of Cuiabá.[10]
