Hull FC Exit Leaves Cartwright Feeling Betrayed and Disrespected

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed his feelings of betrayal and disrespect following the announcement of his departure from the club. The news, which was revealed on April 7, stated that Cartwright would be leaving at the end of the current Betfred Super League season, with the club exercising a six-month termination clause. Cartwright claims he was not given a reason for this decision and is still awaiting an explanation. Despite the circumstances, he has vowed to continue performing his duties and maintaining his loyalty to the players. Cartwright had been with the club since the start of the 2025 campaign, helping them achieve a seventh-placed finish, their highest since 2020. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season, with Cartwright's replacement set to take over after his contract expires.
