Chelsea
defender John Terry has signed a new one-year contract to stay at the club
until summer 2016.
After coming through the academy ranks, the Blues club captain has made 661
appearances since making his debut in 1998, scoring a club record 63 goals
for a defender.
Capital One Cup final victory over Tottenham at the beginning of this month
brought Terry his 13th major Chelsea honour.
He has won a Champions League, Europa League, three Premier League titles,
five FA Cups and three League Cups in a distinguished club career.
Terry said: "I'm delighted to have signed an extension to my contract with
Chelsea.
"After adding another major trophy to my collection this month I hope
myself, the players and manager can continue to bring success to our club.
"Playing for this great club makes me so proud. And as always I would like
to thank the fans who have continually supported me."
Jose Mourinho said: "This new contract is not to say “thank you very much”;
it is because John continues to perform.
"He is a top defender. I am happy that he completely deserves this new
contract after a season where he has already played 40 matches."..
