Cartwright Feels 'Betrayed and Disrespected' Following Hull FC Departure

Hull FC's head coach, John Cartwright, has expressed feelings of betrayal and disrespect after the club confirmed his departure without providing an explanation. The announcement was made on April 7, stating that Cartwright would leave the club at the end of the Betfred Super League season. Despite his efforts to understand the reasoning behind the decision, Cartwright remains in the dark. In a recent interview, he revealed that the club has decided to part ways, exercising a six-month termination clause, but he has yet to receive a clear explanation. Cartwright took the reins at the MKM Stadium in 2025, leading the team to a seventh-place finish, their highest since 2020. With the club already searching for a new coach for the 2027 season, Cartwright has assured that he will continue to perform his duties, prioritizing his bond with the players. The news of his departure came as a surprise, and Cartwright is eager to understand the reasons behind the club's decision.
