John Terry has completed a move to Championship side Aston Villa.
The 36-year old said that he turned down many offers from Premier League clubs because he didn’t want to play against Chelsea.
He also added, “I was there for 22 years at the football club. I am very proud of that, but this is a new chapter in my life and career.”
“My thoughts are 100% here and the ambition is to get us back to the Premier League.”
Terry made his Chelsea debut in 1998 winning many trophies in a brilliant 22 years.
His last game for the club was on the final day, where he was substituted in the 26th minute, corresponding to his shirt number.
Terry’s aim is to fire Aston Villa to the Premier League, which is very possible even though last season they only finished 13th.
