Former Chelsea Player, John Terry has been made the Captain of his new side, Aston Villa.

The 36-year-old former England and Chelsea skipper who joined the club earlier this month on a 1-year deal takes the armband from James Chester.

He will maintain his favoured No 26 jersey for Villa in the Sky Bet Championship during the 2017/2018 season.

Manager Steve Bruce is eyeing promotion for the 2017/18 season and has stated that Terry’s signing will be significant towards achieving such feat.
