JOHN TERRY has returned to Chelsea's Cobham training ground - with Aston Villa reportedly upping their efforts to sign him.
The Blues legend posted a video of him on Instagram having a kick about with former team-mate Jody Morris.
Terry, 36, is keeping up his fitness as he decides on his future after revealing he was leaving the Premier League champions.
The former England skipper has been with the Blues since 1998 but has taken the decision to part ways with the club.
Aston Villa are now said to be upping their interest in Terry as Steve Bruce tries to build a side capable of winning promotion next season.
But Villa face a tough task in fending off opposition from clubs in America and China who can fork out much more on his wages.
And the money has seen Terry seriously consider a move across the pond.
Bruce - who has been playing golf with Terry while he was in Portugal last week - will hope his personal relationship with him will help convince him to move to Villa Park.
Midlands rivals West Brom are also showing an interest in Terry and are confident they can sign the centre-back.
