JJB Sports has appointed Tom Knight as chief executive.
Knight was formerly managing director of Blacks Leisure's sport and fashion division, and joined JJB Sports on October 1 as head of its Icon division.
He was promoted to the executive board following the death of Duncan Sharpe a week later on October 7.
Chairman David Whelan said: 'JJB Sports has great opportunities in the years ahead and Tom is the right person to execute the strategy and deliver the potential of the business.'
