Reece James has committed his future to Chelsea by signing a new six-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
The club captain has penned fresh terms with the West Londoners on a deal that will run until June 2032.
James’s had less than 18 months to run on previous contract and Chelsea are delighted to reach terms on a new agreement that The Athletic are reporting fits into the club’s ‘incentivised wage structure’.
James has made 225 appearances for Chelsea since progressing through the club’s academy and was appointed captain following the departure of César Azpilicueta in 2023.
After an injury-hit period, the England right-back has featured regularly this season, making 35 appearances across all competitions.
He is expected to be named in the England squad for March’s friendly fixtures with Uruguay and Japan later this month, having featured prominently for the Three Lions under former Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel.
