Bartholomeusz proved a valuable assest for the club throughout 2010 where he filled a variety of positions in the back line.
Equally adept at fullback, flyhalf, inside centre and wing, Bartholomeusz has the experience of over 170 first class matches and has been a great resource for the young up and coming stars at the Emirates Western Force.
His international experience includes a two year stint with English Premiership outfit Saracens (2004/05 & ‘05/06) and Irish Magners League club Ulster (2006/07 & ‘07/08). Having also played a role as coaching advisor for the backs during his time at Ulster, Bartholomeusz then headed to Italy to play the 2008/09 season with Petrarca Padova in the Italian Super 10 Championship.
He has also experienced the ultimate in Super rugby as part of the Brumbies side that defeated the Crusaders to win the 2004 title.
The one test Wallaby (v Italy in 2002) will again be an important part of the West Australian set-up heading into the expanded 2011 competition.
