Hull FC Exit Leaves Cartwright Feeling Betrayed and Disrespected

John Cartwright has spoken out about his departure from Hull FC, stating that he feels betrayed and disrespected by the club's decision to let him go at the end of the current season. The news of his exit was announced on April 7, but Cartwright claims he was not provided with an explanation for the decision. Despite the surprise announcement, Cartwright has vowed to continue performing his duties to the best of his abilities. He took over as head coach at the start of the 2025 campaign and led the team to a seventh-placed finish, their highest since 2020. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season and currently sits ninth in the Super League standings.
