Aston Villa have unveiled John Terry after the ex Chelsea defender signed a one-year contract at Villa park. At the end of the 2016/17 season Terry announced he would be moving on from Chelsea after 19 seasons with the club.
Aston Villa managed to fend off competition from Bournemouth and neighbours West Brom and Birmingham to sign the 36 year old defender. Terry will be playing in the Championship for Aston Villa in the 2017/18 season.
A club statement read. "Aston Villa are delighted to announce the signing of John Terry on a one year deal, the former England captain arrives Villa Park having helped Chelsea secure the Premier League Title in 2016/17 and left Stamford bridge at the expiration of his contract.
Terry enjoyed a stellar career with the Blues winning four Premier League Titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, as well as the Champions League and Europa League.
After making his debut in 1998, the 36 year old went on to record 713 appearances for Chelsea and skippered the London side on 578 occasions.
PFA Player of the year winner in 2005, Terry also won 78 caps for England and represented his country at the World Cup and European Championships."
"It is a club I have admired from afar for many years - there are fantastic facilities at bodymoor heath, Villa Park is one of the finest stadiums in the Country.
And there's a good group of players here with an experienced and successful manager in Steve Bruce. I can't wait to get started now and help the club achieve something special this season." John Terry said.
