By Tony Jimenez LONDON (Reuters) - Two years after it looked like his Stamford Bridge career was on its last legs, John Terry has been given the vote of confidence he craved. The runaway Premier League leaders announced on Thursday the captain, known as 'Mr Chelsea', had been handed a new one-year contract that will keep him with the club until the age of 35. Manager Jose Mourinho said the decision was not made out of loyalty or through deference to long service but simply because Terry's performances merited it. The short seven-month tenure of Rafa Benitez in season 2012-13 certainly seems a long time ago for Terry, who is playing so well this season that he must be a candidate for the Footballer of the Year award.
