JD Sports have said they are on track to meet expectations for the full year.

In April the company announced record results for the year ended 3 February 2018.

Today JD Sports chairman Peter Cowgill said: "The board considers that the group continues to be on track to deliver a result for the full year in line with consensus with market expectations."

They have recently completed the acquisition of US sports shoe brand The Finish Line in a deal worth £396 million.

Cowgill added: “Overall, we remain encouraged about the progress that we are making internationally and, following the recent acquisition of the Finish Line business, are excited by the opportunity ahead of us in the United States.
