FOWLER JOIN CARDIFF
After turn downed several offers from Sydney FC, Leicester, Port Vale, and other clubs, The God signs in for two-year contract with Coca-Cola Championship side Cardiff.
A statement on Cardiff's official website said: "Cardiff City are delighted to announce that Robbie Fowler has agreed to join them on a two-year contract.
"Robbie is expected to be unveiled at a press conference in Cardiff on Monday or Tuesday this week."
His first, nine-year spell at Liverpool, which ended in 2001 with a move to Leeds, saw Fowler score 120 league goals and made him one of the most feared strikers in England.
Fowler joined Leeds for £11m, netting 14 times in 24 league starts, before a switch to Manchester City in January 2003.
The striker's unexpected return to Liverpool three years later was welcomed by Reds fans although he was rarely first choice under Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez.

Robbie Fowler has agreed to sign for Cardiff City on a two year contract.
Fowler, who was released by Liverpool at the end of last season, has finalised a deal to join up with the Championship side and will be unveiled at a news conference this week.
The 32 year old striker had earlier rejected the opportunity to continue his playing career with Sydney FC in Australia's A-League.
"It's taken a lot of hard work but thankfully it's done now," Cardiff manager Dave Jones said.
"I met Robbie on holiday in America, just a chance meeting, and asked him what he was doing.
"He wasn't sure so I went on the internet to check his record and found he wasn't a bad player so I thought we might chase him.
"Peter [Ridsdale] has worked really hard on it and I'm glad he's decided to we are the club he wants to join."
Wish you good luck, legend!
