Erstwhile captain of Chelsea FC, John Terry has been named Aston
Villa’s new skipper on Saturday after joining the Championship side
earlier this month.
Terry, 36, replaces Wales’s international and fellow central defender
James Chester as Villa captain having signed a one-year deal with the
club.
“Aston Villa are pleased to announce John Terry as captain. Terry
will be skipper for the 2017/18 campaign,” the club said in a statement
on their website.
Terry will wear the armband for the first time in a pre-season
friendly against third-division Shrewsbury Town later on Saturday.
The ex-England defender left Chelsea at the end of last season after
22 years at Stamford Bridge, where he won five Premier League titles,
five FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League.
