Richmond, VA – The Richmond Renegades have signed rookie center Russ Bartlett to a contract for the 2002-'03 season. Bartlett is the fourth rookie signed by the ‘Gades.

Bartlett joins the ‘Gades from St. Lawrence University. Bartlett played two seasons with the Saints after transferring from Boston University. Russ scored 20 goals in two seasons at BU and was the Terriers leading freshman scorer. Bartlett sat out a season following his transfer then exploded as a junior at St. Lawrence. Russ racked up 18 goals and 43 points while helping the Saints to an ECAC playoff title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Bartlett was one of the Saints assistant captains as a senior.
