José Roberto Assunção de Araújo Filho (born 14 September 1993), known as Zé Roberto, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Mirassol, on loan from Ceará.

Club career[edit]

Born in Teixeira de Freitas, Bahia, Zé Roberto represented Bahia as a youth.[1] In 2012 he was loaned to Bahia de Feira, and made his senior debut on 12 April of that year by coming on as a substitute in a 5–2 home loss against São Paulo, for the season's Copa do Brasil.

Upon returning, he only began to feature with the first team in 2014, but was loaned to Série C club Salgueiro on 30 June of that year.[2] He started to appear regularly in the following campaign, as his side eventually missed out promotion.

On 14 September 2016, Zé Roberto was loaned to Série A club Ponte Preta, with Renê Júnior moving in the opposite direction.[3] He made his debut in the category on 1 October, replacing Ravanelli in a 2–1 home loss against Atlético Mineiro.

Zé Roberto subsequently served loan stints at Mirassol,[4] Criciúma[5] and Santos' B-team during the 2017 season.[6]

Zé Roberto began the 2018 campaign back at Mirassol, before joining São Bento on 14 March.[7] He left the latter on 30 May to move abroad with South Korean side Daegu FC,[8] but featured sparingly.

On 8 February 2019, Zé Roberto returned to Mirassol for a third spell, now in a permanent contract.[9] He returned to São Bento on 27 March,[10] and was the club's top goalscorer in the 2019 Série B with 14 goals, and third-best overall.

On 6 January 2020, Zé Roberto agreed to a one-year loan deal with Atlético Goianiense in the top tier,[11] but moved abroad to Baniyas in the United Arab Emirates just 19 days later.[12] He returned to Mirassol on 6 July,[13] and scored twice in his first game back at the club to knock out São Paulo of the quarterfinals of the 2020 Campeonato Paulista.

On 6 August 2020, Zé Roberto moved to second division side Ponte Preta.[14] On 24 September, he returned to Atlético Goianiense on a permanent three-year contract, mainly as a replacement to Renato Kayzer.[15]

On 29 April 2021, Zé Roberto scored the winner in a 1–0 away success over Palestino for the year's Copa Sudamericana; his goal was Atlético's first international goal of their history.[16]
