Former England international Robbie Fowler has agreed to
join Cardiff City.
The experienced striker has accepted a two-year contract with
Cardiff and is expected to be presented early next week.
Fowler had a clutch of clubs on his trail after he was released by
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez at the end of last season.
He travelled to Australia last week to discuss a deal with Sydney
FC, who confirmed on Friday that he rejected the offer.
Leicester City and Port Vale had also shown an interest, with Foxes
chairman Milan Mandaric hoping to tempt Fowler to The Walkers
Stadium.
But Cardiff had always appeared to be favourites to sign the
32-year-old ahead of their Championship rivals.
The Welsh club have now confirmed a deal has been agreed for Fowler
to pen a two-year contract at Ninian Park.
