Cartwright stepped down fromhis role at Hull last monthas they appointed Steve McNamara for 2027 with Andy Last put in interim charge for the rest of this year.
The Australian was still under contract at MKM Stadium,. he has now been released from that to head to France.
The Dragons were without a head coach afterthe departure of Joel Tomkins,who has taken a job in rugby union with Gloucester.
"This came totally out of the blue which makes it all the more exciting," said Cartwright.
