Playing career

Longbottom made his first grade debut for South Sydney in round 2 of the 1988 season against arch rivals Eastern Suburbs at the Sydney Football Stadium.

Longbottom was a member of the South Sydney team that won the minor premiership in the 1989 NSWRL season but failed to reach the grand final after being defeated by the Canberra Raiders in the preliminary final.[2] [3]
