Defender John Terry has signed a new one-year deal with Chelsea which will see him stay at the club until the summer of 2016.
He said: "I'm delighted to have signed an extension to my contract with Chelsea.”
The 34-year-old’s current deal at Stamford Bridge was due to run out at the end of the season and his deal ties in with club policy which offers those over 30 only one-year deals.
Terry rose through the academy ranks before making his debut in 1998, he has made 661 appearances and scored a club record of 63 goals. Chelsea’s win against Tottenham in the Capital One Cup final at the beginning of march was his 13th major honour with a list that includes: a Champions League, Europa League, three Premier Leagues, five FA Cups and three League Cups.
He added: "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."
Terry has also had a distinguished career on the international stage playing for England over a nine-year period in which he played 78 times scoring six goals.
Jose Mourinho said: "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."
