March 13 (UPI) -- Chelsea signed captain Reece James to a six-year extension, keeping him under contract until 2032, the Premier League soccer team announced Friday.
James' previous pact was set to expire in 2028. The 26-year-old right back/midfielder made his senior team debut for the Blues in 2018.
"I am over the moon to have extended my contract -- Chelsea means so much to me," James told ChelseaFC.com. "I have always said I want my peak years to be here, and I truly believe we have everything it takes to build on our previous successes.
"I'm excited for the future under this ownership, sporting directors, coach and all the staff, and hopefully we will lift many more trophies together over the coming years."
James has appeared in more than 200 games for the Blues and helped them win the 2021 Champions League and 2025 Club World Cup.
