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.
