John Terry has signed a new one-year contract with Chelsea.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old had looked certain to be his way out of the club this summer.<\/p>\n
He 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.<\/p>\n
But the Blues performed a dramatic U-turn last week, announcing they had put a one-year extension on the table for Terry.<\/p>\n
Now the long-serving captain, who has made 703 appearances for Chelsea\u00a0in his\u00a018-year spell, has agreed to stay on for another year under incoming boss Antonio Conte.<\/p>\n
“I am delighted to sign a new contract with the club. Everyone knows I’m Chelsea through and through,” said Terry.<\/p>\n
“I am looking forward to next season under the new manager and hopefully we can make it a successful one.<\/p>\n
“Also, a special mention to the fans for their continued support. You’re the best in the world.”<\/p>\n
Terry is understood to have had lucrative offers on the table from\u00a0mega-rich Chinese clubs.<\/p>\n
But the ex-England\u00a0captain always made it clear he wanted to stay put, telling supporters he was desperate\u00a0to ‘finish his career’ at Chelsea after Sunday’s season-ending draw with champions Leicester.<\/p>\n
