Former England captain John Terry has signed a new one-year contract at Chelsea.

The contract  extension will take the defender into his 22nd year with the Blues, having signed at the age of 14.

He has since made 703 first-team appearances, the third-highest in our history, with a club-record 570 of those as captain.

The decision has been taken following the appointment of Antonio Conte as the club’s new manager last month, and consultation between Terry, Conte, the owner and the board.

‘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', Terry said, according to a statement on the club's website.
