Chelsea boss Mourinho: Terry fought hard for new contract

Chelsea skipper John Terry is delighted with his new contract.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho had 'guaranteed' it would happen and he has now signed his skipper on £150,000-a-week, including bonuses, until at least the end of next season.

The 34-year-old 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."

Mourinho added: "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."
