BREAKING NEWS: John Terry to leave Chelsea

The Blues captain, who has spent his entire career at Stamford Bridge, will not have his contract renewed and will leave at the end of the 2015-16 campaign

Chelsea captain John Terry will leave the club at the end of the 2015-16 season, with the Blues having opted against extending his contract.

Terry, who made his debut with the Stamford Bridge club in 1998, will not be given a new deal by the club and will leave when his current terms expire at the end of the campaign.

In a statement released by the defender following the Blues' FA Cup win over MK Dons, Terry said: "To be honest, I was in last week before the Arsenal game and it's [the contract] not going to be extended. 

"It's my last run in the FA Cup so I want to make it a good one. It's a big season for me and I want to push on - not just in this competition but in the Premier League as well. I knew before the Arsenal game so mentally I've kind of accepted it. We just have to move on.
