Cartwright Feels Betrayed by Hull FC After Abrupt Exit Announcement

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed his disappointment and sense of betrayal after the club announced his departure without providing a clear explanation. The 60-year-old Australian coach was informed that his services would no longer be needed after the current season, with the club invoking a six-month termination clause. Cartwright stated that he still hasn't received a reason for the decision and feels disrespected by the lack of communication. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Cartwright has pledged to continue performing his duties to the best of his abilities. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season, and Cartwright's departure comes after a seventh-placed finish in the previous campaign, the team's highest finish since 2020.
