Chelsea confirm John Terry contract extension

Chelsea have confirmed that captain John Terry has signed a new one-year deal with the club.

The 33-year-old defender's previous contract at Stamford Bridge was due to expire this summer.

Terry joined Chelsea as a 14-year-old trainee before penning his first professional terms in 1998.

"I'm delighted to have signed an extension to my contract with Chelsea taking me into my 20th year with the club," he told the Blues' official website.

"I'd like to thank the fans and club for their continued support, and the manager who was instrumental for me the last season."

Terry has scored 57 goals in 621 appearances for Chelsea.
