José Roberto Assunção de Araújo Filho (born 14 September 1993), known as Zé Roberto, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Sport Recife.
Club career
Born in Teixeira de Freitas, Bahia, Zé Roberto represented Bahia as a youth. 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. 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. 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, Criciúma and Santos' B-team during the 2017 season.
Zé Roberto began the 2018 campaign back at Mirassol, before joining São Bento on 14 March. He left the latter on 30 May to move abroad with South Korean side Daegu FC, but featured sparingly.
On 8 February 2019, Zé Roberto returned to Mirassol for a third spell, now in a permanent contract. He returned to São Bento on 27 March, and was the club's top goalscorer in the 2019 Série B with 14 goals, and third-best overall.
