Career

Bartholomeusz attended Brisbane State High School. He played for the ACT Brumbies and was a member of the side that defeated the Crusaders to win the 2004 Super 12 title.[1]

He joined Saracens where he played the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons in the English Premiership, followed by Irish Magners League club Ulster for 2006–07 and 2007–08. In 2008, Bartholomeusz signed with Padova to play in the Italian Super 10 (now Top12) for the 2008/09 season. He returned to Australia to play for the Western Force in 2010 and 2011.[1] Bartholomeusz holds a record for having the fourth-shortest international rugby union career. In 2002, he represented Australia for 2 minutes and 33 seconds against Italy. Nick Henderson (Australia), Sean McCahill (Ireland) and Mathieu Dourthe (France) are the only players to have shorter international careers.
