José Egas dos Santos Branco (born 7 January 1987), known as Zequinha, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Atlético de Kolkata as a forward.
Born in Setúbal, Zequinha was an unsuccessful youth graduate at FC Porto. He went on to serve consecutive loans in the following three years after having appeared for the B-side – and only three times – in both the country's second and third divisions (G.D. Tourizense, F.C. Penafiel, Gondomar S.C. and Gil Vicente FC).
In the 2009 summer, Zequinha was released and joined Primeira Liga newcomer S.C. Olhanense on a free transfer, penning a three-year contract. He made his debut in the competition on 16 August, playing 20 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against Associação Naval 1º de Maio.
In July 2011 Zequinha moved abroad, signing for two years with AEL 1964 FC in Greece. After two seasons in division two he signed with Panthrakikos F.C. in the Superleague where he stayed until 7 January 2014, signing with his very first club Vitória F.C. three days later, where he become the best player and scorer of his team during one season.
