Ezequias Roosevelt Tavares de Melo (born 28 January 1981), known simply as Ezequias, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Trem Desportivo Clube as a left back.

He played for several teams during his professional career, in three countries.

Football career

Born in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Ezequias started playing football with lowly Sport Club Corinthians Alagoano. He would then spend the following seven seasons in Portugal, with C.S. Marítimo – where he arrived in 2001 alongside Pepe, later of FC Porto, Real Madrid and the Portugal national team fame – Gil Vicente FC, Académica de Coimbra, Porto, S.C. Beira-Mar[1] and Leixões SC,[2] the latter two loaned by the Primeira Liga club after being unable to impress (only one league appearance, a 1–2 away loss against S.C. Braga[3]).

In the middle of 2008, Ezequias was finally released by Porto and signed with Romania's FC Braşov. Two years later, after two seasons as first-choice, he moved to another team in that country and its Liga I, FC Rapid Bucureşti.

Personal life

For reasons unknown to him, Ezequias' second name was an homage to American president Franklin D. Roosevelt.[4]
