Hull FC Exit Leaves Cartwright Feeling Betrayed

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed feelings of betrayal and disrespect following his sudden exit from the club. Despite his departure being announced on April 7, Cartwright claims he was not provided with an explanation for the decision. In an interview, Cartwright stated that he was informed the club would be parting ways with him at the end of his contract, with a six-month termination clause being exercised. Cartwright, who led the team to a seventh-placed finish in the 2025 campaign, emphasized his commitment to his job and his bond with the players. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season, with Cartwright's current tenure set to end.
