[10] In Round 21 against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Cartwright suffered a season ending ankle injury in the Panthers' 22–16 win at ANZ Stadium.

[16] Cartwright's good form during the season saw him selected in the New South Wales Blues training squad but did not make his expected origin debut.

"[27][28] In Round 1 of the season, Cartwright made his club debut for the Titans against the Canberra Raiders, starting at lock in the 30–28 win at Robina Stadium.

Following Gold Coast's round 12 34–14 defeat by the Eastern Suburbs, Cartwright was demoted to reserve grade by coach Garth Brennan due to inconsistent form.

[30][31] In early 2019 Cartwright admitted not putting in enough hard work the previous year and hoped that in the 2019 season he could atone for a disappointing 2018.

[32] Cartwright made a total of 23 appearances and scored 3 tries for the Gold Coast in the 2019 NRL season as the club endured a horror year on and off the field.

The Gold Coast managed to win only 4 games for the entire season and finished last claiming the Wooden Spoon.
