Moffett follows Brooking lead
13 April 2012
Sport England chief executive David Moffett has stunned the Government by announcing he is to quit less than a year after taking up the appointment.
The Australian intends to stay in the post until next spring but his announcement comes at a difficult time for the organisation after Trevor Brooking stepped down as chairman last week without a successor having been appointed.
Moffett, who took up the £140,000-a-year post in January, said: "Ninety-five per cent of my job will have been completed by the time I leave.
"I have put in place a modernised sporting body ready to lead the sporting future of this nation."
