Terry to leave Chelsea end of season

John Terry and Chelsea Football Club, on Monday, jointly announced that the captain will leave the club at the end of the season.
Said the club: “Everybody at Stamford Bridge would like to express our enormous gratitude to John and wish him the very best of luck for the future.
“John has given us more than two decades of dedicated and exceptional service. In that time, he has displayed the utmost pride at wearing the Chelsea shirt, something he has done on 713 occasions since his debut in 1998, scoring 66 goals. He is the club’s third highest all-time appearance-maker and has captained Chelsea a record 578 times.
“This season, he has featured less on the field but remained an influential and inspirational member of the squad which, under Antonio Conte’s guidance, sits top of the Premier League.
“Throughout his career, ‘JT’ has contributed immensely to us achieving consistent success unequalled in the club’s history. “He has won the Champions League, four Premier League titles, the Europa League, five FA Cups and three League Cups. His 14 major honours make him our most decorated individual of all time”.
Terry said: ‘After 22 years, there is so much to say and so many people to thank at this great football club. From coaches, team-mates and staff to the fans who have given me so much support down the years, I can’t thank you enough. There will be opportunities for me to speak further about this over the coming weeks.
‘I will decide on my future in due course, but for now, I am committed to helping the team achieve success this season”.
