Hull FC Departure Leaves Coach Cartwright Feeling Betrayed

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed feelings of betrayal and disrespect following his unexpected departure from the club. Despite his dedication to the team, Cartwright was not provided with an explanation for the decision to terminate his contract at the end of the current season. In a recent interview, Cartwright stated that he was informed of the club's decision to part ways without being given a reason, leaving him with a sense of disappointment and disloyalty. Cartwright had been with the club since the beginning of the 2025 campaign and had led the team to a seventh-place finish, their highest since 2020. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season and currently sits ninth in the Super League standings. Despite the circumstances, Cartwright has pledged to continue performing his duties and maintaining his bond with the players until his departure.
