Hull FC's Sudden Decision Leaves Coach John Cartwright Feeling Betrayed

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed his disappointment and sense of betrayal after the club's unexpected announcement of his departure at the end of the current season. Despite his dedication to the team, Cartwright was not provided with a reason for the decision and feels disrespected by the lack of explanation. He had been at the helm since the start of the 2025 campaign and had led the team to a seventh-placed finish, their highest in several years. The club has already begun searching for a new coach to take over from the 2027 season, while Cartwright will continue to fulfill his duties for the remainder of his contract.
