Sport England appoints David Moffett as new chief executive
David Moffett is to be the new chief executive of Sport England and is intending to take up the new post in January 2002.
Considered by Sport England to be one of the 'top' sports administrators in the southern hemisphere, David Moffett's most recent role was as chief executive of the National Rugby League of Australia.
Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, says Sport England's new regional structure needs a dynamic leader: 'David will fill that role perfectly'. Trevor Brooking, chair of Sport England said: 'This is one of the most challenging yet rewarding jobs in British sport, with the potential to make a huge difference to many people's lives.'
