Ezequias Roosevelt Tavares de Melo (born 28 January 1981), simply known as Ezequias, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Associação Atlética Santa Cruz as a left back.

His surname, a Portuguese name custom, is Tavares (de) Melo, and he played for several teams during his professional career, in three different 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 F.C. Porto, Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team fame – Gil Vicente FC, Académica de Coimbra, Porto, S.C. Beira-Mar[1] and Leixões SC, the latter two loaned by the league giants after being unable to impress (only one league appearance, a 1–2 away loss against S.C. Braga).

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