John Terry told to carry on playing

John Terry has been advised to play on for as long as possible as his Chelsea exit nears.

The 35-year-old captain revealed in January he would be leaving Stamford Bridge at the end of the season after a failure to agree a new contract.

Chelsea maintain Terry could yet be offered a one-year extension, the policy for players over 30, but the defender could yet accept a lucrative offer from Major League Soccer, China or the Middle East.
