Cartwright Expresses Feelings of Betrayal Following Sudden Hull FC Departure

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright has spoken out about his shock and disappointment after being told he would be leaving the club at the end of the current season. The 60-year-old Australian claims he was not provided with an explanation for the decision, which was announced by the club on April 7. Cartwright stated that he feels "betrayed and disrespected" by the club's actions, having been given no reason for his impending departure. Despite the circumstances, Cartwright has vowed to continue performing his duties to the best of his ability, citing his loyalty to the players as a key factor in his decision. The news of Cartwright's exit came as a surprise, given the team's relatively strong start to the season, with three wins and four defeats from their first seven matches. The club has already begun the process of finding a replacement for the 2027 season, with Cartwright's contract set to expire at the end of the current campaign.
