Chelsea have re-signed goalkeeper Henrique Hilario, despite releasing him at the end of last season.

The club included Hilario's name on their released list earlier in the summer, but after joining the Blues for their pre-season tour of America, the Portuguese player will remain at Chelsea for another season.

The 37-year-old told the club's official website: "It feels really good to sign a new contract for another year at the club, I'm very proud.

"I'm really pleased to be part of this great squad and I'm looking forward to working once again with Jose Mourinho."

Hilario has made 20 Premier League appearances for the Blues.
