Hull FC Exit Leaves Cartwright Feeling Betrayed

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed feelings of betrayal and disrespect following the announcement of his departure from the club. The news, which was made public on April 7, caught Cartwright off guard, with the 60-year-old Australian revealing that he still hasn't received an explanation for the decision. Cartwright stated that he was informed the club would be exercising a six-month termination clause, effectively ending his tenure at the end of his current contract. Despite the circumstances, Cartwright has vowed to continue performing his duties and maintaining his loyalty to the players. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season, with Cartwright's replacement set to take over after his contract expires. Hull FC currently sits ninth in the Super League standings, having secured three wins and four defeats from their first seven matches.
