Former Hull FC Coach Feels Betrayed After Sudden Exit

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed feeling 'betrayed and disrespected' following the announcement of his departure from the club. The news, which was made public on April 7, caught the 60-year-old Australian off guard, and he claims to have still not received an explanation for the decision. Cartwright stated that he was informed the club would be parting ways with him at the end of his current contract, with a six-month termination clause being exercised. Despite the circumstances, Cartwright vowed to continue performing his duties and maintaining his bond with the players. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season, with Cartwright's tenure set to end after the current campaign. Hull FC currently sits ninth in the Super League standings, having secured three wins and four defeats from their first seven matches.
