Rombotis, originally from Caulfield Grammar school, played at both the Sandringham Dragons and Central U-18s before being recruited to Fitzroy with pick 23 in the 1994 AFL draft.
After four appearances in 1995, Rombotis managed to play every single game the following season, but it was a poor year for Fitzroy, and he experienced just one win.
He struggled to make an impact in his only year at the club and was traded to Richmond for Chris Naish.
After leaving the AFL, Rombotis continued to play metropolitan football and had stints as coach of Belgrave and Roxburgh Park.
He was also vice-captain of St Kevin's Old Boys in 2004 when they won the VAFA B Section premiership.
