Aston Villa have confirmed that summer signing John Terry will take over as the club’s new captain for the 2017-18 campaign.
Terry moved to the Championship outfit having ended a 22-year stay at Chelsea at the end of last season, during which time he captained the Blues to five Premier League titles.
The 36-year-old takes over the armband from James Chester and led the team out for the first time during this afternoon’s 2-1 pre-season friendly defeat to Shrewsbury Town.
Villa will begin the new Championship season at home to Hull City on August 5.
