Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce that Robbie Fowler has rejoined the club on a free transfer from Manchester City until the end of the season when the situation will be reviewed.
Fowler, 30, completed the formalities of what is a sensational move this afternoon.
The Manchester City striker is ineligible to play in Sunday's FA Cup tie against Portsmouth but could make an emotional reappearance in front of the Kop against Birmingham City on Wednesday.
Toxteth-born Fowler originally shot to prominence with the Reds in the autumn of 1993 and quickly established himself as one of the most lethal finishers in Europe.
After breaking countless goalscoring records and captaining the club during the unforgettable treble season of 2000/01, his adoring fans were left stunned when he was transferred to Leeds United in November 2001.
His spell at Elland Road was to be short-lived though and in early 2003 he moved back across the Penines to join Manchester City.
Now he's back at his spiritual home and news of his Liverpool return will no doubt be greeted with euphoria by his loyal legion of followers.
With so much still to play for this season, Rafael Benitez will be hoping that Fowler can now turn back the clock and reproduce his once prolific form in front of goal as the Reds chase Champions League and Premiership glory.
Welcome home Robbie!
