Eadie says Terry was a ‘great appointment’

Darren Eadie believes John Terry returning to Aston Villa to work alongside manager Dean Smith was a “great appointment” and says it’s “good to have” the former Chelsea and England centre-back “on the sidelines and in the dressing room”.

Terry joined Villa on a free transfer from Chelsea in 2017 and went on to make 36 appearances in all competitions as the Midlands outfit reached the Championship playoff final. He left the club over the summer and retired from playing football, only to return to Villa in a coaching capacity.
