José Vitor Silva Neves (born 2 May 2000), commonly known as Zé Vitor, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Mirassol, on loan from Maringá.
Career
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] and was subsequently bought outright.
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]
Rarely used at Athletico as the club suffered relegation, Zé Vitor returned to Maringá ahead of the 2025 campaign, helping the side to reach another Paranaense finals. On 17 March of that year, he agreed to join Mirassol in the top tier, also on loan.[11]
Personal life
Zé Vitor's older brother Marcus Vinícius is also a footballer. A forward, both played together at ABD in 2021.[1]
