JD Sports Fashion Plc ("JD", the "Company") announces that,
Brian Small, its Chief Financial Officer, will be stepping down
from the Board of the Company with effect from 31 October 2018,
following his decision to retire from this role. The JD Board has
been in discussion with Brian for the past few months regarding his
proposed retirement and wishes him all the best for the future.
Brian Small will be replaced by Neil Greenhalgh, the Company's
Group Finance Director, who joined JD in 2004. Neil will formally
be appointed as Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1 November

more recent years in anticipation of an orderly succession.
Peter Cowgill, Executive Chairman of JD, said: "I would like to
thank Brian for his valuable contribution and support over the last
15 years at JD and we wish him well in his retirement. I would also
like to welcome Neil to the Board of JD. The Board is delighted
that a planned succession has been achieved. Neil has already made
a substantial contribution to JD and his promotion to the Board
will enable him to contribute still further."
No further information is required to be disclosed pursuant to
Listing Rule 9.6.13 in respect of Neil Greenhalgh's appointment as
a Director of the Company.
