Terry, 28, had been promised an improved deal when he rejected Manchester City's attempt to sign him during the close season.
City were reported to have offered Terry around R2,54million a week to move to Eastlands, but the England defender turned them down and is now likely to finish his career at Stamford Bridge after putting pen to paper on a contract worth a reported R1,9 million a week.
"Chelsea is delighted to confirm that John Terry has signed a new five-year contract that keeps him at the club until the end of the 2013-14 season," a statement on the club's website announced.
"This reaffirms both John's and Chelsea's long-stated desire for John to be at Stamford Bridge for the rest of his playing career." - Sapa-AFP
