The Blues skipper, who scored in Sunday’s League Cup final win over Tottenham, wants a new contract and insists he would never sign for a rival club

Chelsea captain John Terry insists that he is fighting for his future at the club.

The former England centre-back continued an impressive 2014-15 campaign by scoring in the 2-0 win over Tottenham in the League Cup final on Sunday as Jose Mourinho’s side claimed their first piece of silverware of the campaign.

But Terry insists that he is still unsure over his future at the club, with the defender’s contract due to expire at the end of the current campaign.

He told reporters: “The manager [Mourinho] came in, sat me down and made it clear if I worked hard I’d get extra years and would play, but if not there are others players who are younger who can play and will fight for the place. So I am fighting for my future, for my family’s future, and I want to give it everything.

“I don’t know how long I have left. Hopefully I have a few years left but if this is my last year then I hope it will go out on a bang. The uncertainty has helped me positively.

“The roles have reversed – you don’t have four or five years [of contract] ahead as you get older – and now the power is in the club’s hands. That has inspired me. I am fighting for myself and my family, and to prove people wrong. It doesn’t come much bigger than that.”

After the furore surrounding Frank Lampard’s exit from the club and the role he is now playing in Manchester City’s title push, Terry is adamant that he would not join a Premier League rival.

Asked if he would consider another English club, he said: “No, but there’s a right time to go as well. Certainly I am feeling great at the minute and it would be the wrong time to go.

“But there does come a point where it would be the right time to go, to say it’s time to move on and people will remember you that way. I have my little target to play next year but beyond that, two or three years? I don’t know.”
