Career

Born in Barakaldo, Biscay, Basque Country, San Bartolomé joined Athletic Bilbao's Lezama Facilities in 2009, from hometown side Pauldarrak FKT.[1] After making his senior debut with farm team CD Basconia in 2016, he first appeared with the reserves on 16 September 2017, starting in a 0–0 Segunda División B home draw against SD Gernika Club.

A member of Bilbao Athletic in the following seasons, San Bartolomé was unable to establish himself as a regular starter after struggling with several minor injuries.[2] On 20 July 2022, he moved to another reserve team, Celta de Vigo B in Primera Federación.[3]

On 14 July 2023, after being an undisputed starter for Celta, San Bartolomé renewed his contract for three further years,[4] but suffered a tibia fracture shortly after which kept him sidelined for the most of the season.[5] On 5 July 2024, he signed for fellow third division side Real Unión on a one-year deal.[6]

On 11 March 2025, after being regularly used for the Txuri-beltz, San Bartolomé renewed his link with the club until 2027.[7] On 7 July, after suffering relegation, he agreed to a deal with Barakaldo CF still in division three.[8]

On 2 February 2026, San Bartolomé signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Segunda División club Albacete Balompié,[9] after the club activated his release clause.[10] He made his professional debut six days later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Víctor Valverde in a 2–1 away loss to Deportivo de La Coruña.
