According to reports, Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has verbally agreed to another year with Perth Glory in the A-League.
It seems that while he has not yet signed the contract, officials from Glory are hopeful that the striker will be back for the 2011-2012 A-League season.
“A formal announcement will be made by the club once the contract is signed, but Robbie has verbally confirmed his commitment for the 2011/12 season,” said a spokesperson for the club.
Reports indicate that he has been in England this week, expanding his coaching contacts. Fowler was seen at the training ground for Liverpool’s reserves, as well as with MK Dons, and officially at Championship side Bury.
The club shared that the former England player will spend a week assisting caretaker manager Richie Barker and will be present in the dugout for Tuesday’s match against Burton.
Additionally, Fowler has recently joined MK Dons as part of their backroom staff.
The club is also awaiting a formal response from Shane Smeltz, who has received a lucrative marquee contract offer.
