Chelsea captain John Terry signs new one-year contract with Stamford Bridge club
- Chelsea have tied John Terry down to a new contract at Stamford Bridge
- Blues captain has signed a one-year deal at the Premier League club
- Former England international had spent several days considering the offer
- John Terry has signed a one-year contract extension and will remain a Chelsea player for at least another season.A club statement confirmed the news today with reaction from Terry, who will add to his 703 appearances.'I am delighted to sign a new contract with the club,' he said. '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.'It completes a remarkable turn of events since Terry was summoned to Stamford Bridge last week for a meeting with Chelsea director Marina Granovsakaia.The 35-year-old had been resigned to leaving the club he joined from school and had even started to organise his farewell, hiring the pitch for a farewell game and party with family and friends.His agents had been instructed to assemble a list of options after meetings in January when the club asked Terry to be patient because the next manager would need to have an input.They told him his future was part of the broader recruitment strategy but Terry was clearly unimpressed, since this had not stopped Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic signing new contracts after Jose Mourinho's sacking.
DO YOU THINK HE TRULY DESERVE ANOTHER CONTRACT ?
