Hull FC's Decision to Part Ways Leaves Cartwright Feeling Betrayed

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed his disappointment and sense of betrayal after the club announced his departure without providing a clear explanation. Cartwright, who will leave the club at the end of the current Betfred Super League season, stated that he was surprised by the decision and has yet to receive a reason for his termination. Despite the circumstances, Cartwright remains committed to his duties and will continue to work with the team for the remainder of his contract. The 60-year-old Australian coach had led the team to a seventh-place finish in the previous season, the club's highest finish since 2020. With Hull FC already seeking a new coach for the 2027 season, Cartwright's departure has raised questions about the club's future direction.
