Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of John Terry on a one-year contract after the Chelsea legend chose to drop to the Championship to continue his playing career.
Terry, 36, could earn up to £80,000 per week if he helps Villa back to the Premier League after agreeing to join Steve Bruce's promotion push having linked up with his new manager on an Algarve golf course this summer.
Villa unveiled Terry using a bizarre spoof WhatsApp thread featuring his new team-mates and owner Tony Xia, after the club's chairman had initially teased the signing on Twitter earlier on Monday.

Terry holds up the No 26 shirt that was so familiar to him at Chelsea - he takes it from Jonathan Kodjia at Villa Park.
Former Villa players Martin Laursen, Olof Mellburg and Paul McGrath leave the chat as Terry joins and asks 'Who's No 26?'
