Following a string of five consecutive Super League losses, Luke Robinson was let go from his position at the Accu Stadium in late March. Since then, Liam Finn has taken over as interim head coach and has expressed interest in the role on a permanent basis. According to Huddersfield's director of rugby, Andy Kelly, Cartwright, who recently stepped down as Hull FC head coach, is also being considered for the position.
Kelly stated that the club is meticulously reviewing a list of potential coaches, with Cartwright being one of the profiles under consideration. The club is taking a thorough approach to the recruitment process, ensuring that the chosen coach aligns with their vision and goals.
With the team currently sitting third from bottom in the Super League standings, the importance of making the right appointment cannot be overstated. Kelly emphasized the need for a coach with a clear vision, technical expertise, and the ability to manage the team effectively. The recruitment process has been slowed down by the club's desire to align their player recruitment strategy with the potential coaching appointments.
An announcement is expected once the ideal candidate is identified.
