John Terry will finally make the step up to join Aston Villa, a club with one more English title than Chelsea! The former Stamford Bridge captain has had his transfer confirmed.

Terry left the Premier League champions after spending his entire career with the club on Saturday when his contract ran out on July 1st but it hasn't taken him long to find a new club.

Earlier in the summer the 36 year-old had been linked with Villa as well as Birmingham City and Premier League sides West Brom and Bournemouth but he has made the decision to join Steve Bruce's side.

The announcement was made this morning by Villa's very Twitter active chairman Dr. Tony Xia:

And the footballing world was quick to react to the news:

It's been reported that Terry didn't want to join another Premier League club because he didn't like the idea of coming up against his former club. I wonder what 'Villains' fans will think when he pulls out of their FA Cup fixture against them....

'JT' not at Stamford Bridge seems weird enough, in the Championship is a whole other level of strange.

Do you think he'll be a success?
