Cartwright Feels Betrayed by Hull FC Following Sudden Exit Announcement

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed his feelings of betrayal and disrespect after the club announced his departure without providing an explanation. The 60-year-old Australian coach was informed that his contract would not be renewed at the end of the current season, with the club opting to exercise a six-month termination clause. Cartwright, who led the team to a seventh-place finish in his first season, stated that he was surprised by the decision and has yet to receive a reason for his departure. Despite the circumstances, Cartwright has vowed to continue performing his duties and maintain his loyalty to the players. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season, with the team currently sitting ninth in the Super League standings.
