José Carlos Cracco Neto (born 16 May 1994), known as Zé Carlos or Zeca, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Santos as an left back.

Club career

Born in Paranavaí, Paraná, Zeca joined Santos FC's youth setup in 2006, aged 11.[1] On 19 February 2014 he renewed his link with Peixe until 2018.[2]

On 9 March 2014 Zeca made his first-team debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 4–1 home routing over Oeste for the Campeonato Paulista championship.[3] He made his Série A debut on 11 May, playing the entire second half in a 2–0 away win against Figueirense.[4]

Zeca appeared in 15 league matches during the campaign, being challenged by Eugenio Mena and fellow youth graduate Caju. In the 2015 campaign, he was rarely used by managers Enderson Moreira and Marcelo Fernandes, being nearly loaned to Columbus Crew in July;[5] however, after the arrival of Dorival Júnior, he was immediately appointed as first-choice and retained his starting spot until the end of the year.[6]

On 31 March 2016 Zeca scored his first professional goal, netting his team's first in a 4–1 Paulistão home routing of Ferroviária.[7]
