Hull FC head coach John Cartwright dropped a strong hint that he does not expect to remain in charge of the club until the end of the season after their 24-14 home defeat to St Helens.
Cartwright was cheered by the home fans during and after the game, having been told earlier this month that his contract will not be renewed at the end of the current campaign.
Asked whether he expected to see out his stay, Cartwright, who said he felt “betrayed and disrespected” by the club’s decision, revealed he is set to thrash out his future in meetings with the club’s hierarchy next week.
