John Terry and Aston Villa have parted ways after one season, the defender and the Championship club announced on Wednesday.
Terry joined Villa last summer after seeing his time with Chelsea draw to a close and captained the side to the final of the play-offs after a fourth-placed finish in the regular league season.
However, Villa ultimately fell 1-0 to Fulham at Wembley Stadium, denying them a return to the Premier League after a two-year absence.
And Villa confirmed his contract will not be renewed for the 2018-19 campaign as they look to cut costs.
