Director dealings: JD Sports director makes share purchase

JD Sports revealed on Thursday that non-executive director Suzi Williams had acquired 27,579 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed sportswear retailer.

Williams, joined the board of JD Sports in May 2022, purchased the shares at an average price of 181.29p each, for a total value of £49,997.97.

Although Williams sought the company's permission for the share purchase on 16 February, an "inadvertent oversight" meant that JD was first notified of its execution on 1 March.

As of 1610 GMT, JD shares were up 0.42% at 180.55p.
