John Terry admits he is hoping to get a new one-year deal with Chelsea.
The 34-year old captain is out of contract in the summer but insists he feels more comfortable about his situation than he did at this time last year when rumours suggested he could be on his way out at Stamford Bridge.
Terry continue to be a key figure in central defence for Jose Mourinho and insists he would be open to a further 12 months with the Blues as he comes to terms with a year-by-year scenario regarding his career.
"Last year I was a bit nervous and knocking on the door myself. But I know their position and they know mine," he said.
"I want to stay.
"Hopefully, my displays are showing that and they want to keep me.
"I don't want to rest. I'm coming to the end of my career, so it's important I stay fit and play as much as I can.
"I'll be happy with another year and then we'll see how we go year by year. I've not got much choice.
"No talks have happened between myself and the club, but we both respect each other's position."
