With his contract running out in June and no news about a possible extension, Terry is not ruling out staying on at Aston Villa and has said he is not ready to call time on his playing career just yet.

"I still have the appetite and hunger for sure," he told talkSPORT. "I just want to get this season finished.

"My aim at the start of the season was to get us up. One last push and hopefully we can go out with a bang and make it an easy decision at the end."

The 37-year-old has previously said that he would never play for any Premier League club other than Chelsea but is now not ruling out another season at Villa Park.
