Hull FC Exit Leaves Cartwright Feeling Betrayed and Disrespected

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed feelings of betrayal and disrespect following the announcement of his departure from the club. The news, which was revealed on April 7, caught Cartwright off guard, and he claims to have not received an explanation for the decision. In an interview, Cartwright stated that the club had chosen to part ways, exercising a six-month termination clause, but he has yet to be given a reason. Despite the circumstances, Cartwright intends to continue performing his duties without compromising his commitment to the team. Having led the club to a seventh-place finish in the 2025 season, their highest since 2020, Cartwright's tenure will come to an end, with the club already seeking a new coach for the 2027 season.
