The Blues captain signed a new one-year deal yesterday taking him to the end of next season.

Terry has played over 600 times for the west London club.

But the 34-year-old admits feeling like a "million dollars" when being given the assurance of another year at his boy-hood club.

Everyone needs an arm round their shoulders at certain parts of their careers and their lives, and I am no different

"Even as a captain you need things like that and this contract does that," Terry said. 

"The fans give you that as well when they sing your songs. 

"It makes you feel a million dollars, it really does, so I owe them a lot. 

"Everyone needs an arm round their shoulders at certain parts of their careers and their lives, and I am no different."

Terry is closing in on a fourth league title with Chelsea six points clear in the Premier League, and having played a game fewer than Man City in second place.

And, despite winning three Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, a Europa League and the Champions League, Terry insists he's still hungry for success.

"Now I just want to keep winning major trophies and being in the mix for them," he said. 

"At the start of my career that is what you want to do, you want to play as many games as you can and become captain. 

"I have done that, I am still captain and I am still hungry to win things and hopefully that passion never goes but if it did it is time to call it a day.

‘It is still there the way it was when I was 17 or 18 and breaking through into the first team, and as long as that passion remains and I am capable of playing I will try to stay as long as I can."
