Fowler to sign new one year deal
LIVERPOOL, May 6 (SW) - Robbie Fowler will sign a new 1 year contract for Liverpool next week, it has been announced on a Liverpool website.
Fowler moved back to Anfield in January of this year on a free transfer from Manchester City and had made his feelings known publicly that he was desperate to stay on at his beloved Anfield. The delighted 30-year-old said,
"I had been treating every game as though it could be my last for Liverpool.
"Now I've got the incentive of knowing I'll get more chances to wear the red shirt. I would love to be part of a Liverpool side that wins the title."
An equally delighted manager Rafael Benitez added,
"This is fantastic news. Robbie has done really well and he deserves this.
"I said always it was an easy decision for me to make and in this case we have an agreement with Robbie and he will sign the contract early next week. We are really happy, all the staff, his team-mates, the club and the supporters.
"He has scored some important goals and we would like to see him scoring a lot of them and maybe to become the third all-time record goalscorer in the history of the club.
"Yeah he's a fantastic team-mate and he's a good worker. He's really focused on the future and his commitment to this club is really good."
Fowler has scored 4 goals from 15 appearances since re-joining the club.
