John Terry signs new one-year Chelsea deal

Chelsea Captain John Terry have confirmed that he has signed a new one-year contract with the blues. 

The 35-year-old had looked certain to be his way out of the club this summer. 

Terry revealed back in January he had not been offered fresh terms and booked a farewell party at Stamford Bridge following the final game of the Premier League season. 

But the Blues performed a dramatic U-turn last week, announcing they had put a one-year extension on the table for Terry. 

Now the long-serving captain, who has made 703 appearances for Chelsea in his 18-year spell, has agreed to stay on for another year under incoming coach Antonio Conte. 

He told the club's official website: 

"I am delighted to sign a new contract with the club. Everyone knows I'm Chelsea through and through" 

"I am looking forward to next season under the new manager and hopefully we can make it a successful one. 

"Also, a special mention to the fans for their continued support. You're the best in the world."
