Rafael Benitez has been impressed with Robbie Fowler's performances since his return to Liverpool in January and has rewarded the striker with a new twelve month contract. Fowler has spoken of his delight with the deal.

"It's not signed yet but you can imagine how happy I was when the manager offered me another year. I can't put my feelings into words, this is something I have wanted for a long time," the man nicknamed 'God' told the club's official website.
 
"When I signed for six months in January the manager told me he would look at the situation at the end of the season. He's had a look at what I've done and thankfully I've been given the best possible answer.
 
"I feel as though I've done alright and the manager has been pleased with me as well. I'm looking forward to next season now. I was buzzing when I got a six month deal so you can imagine how happy I am to have been given another year. I am absolutely over the moon.
 
"We've got two games to go and then a break before pre-season. I can't wait for next season now. I just want to get going again. I'm gutted I have to miss next week's Cup final but I wish the lads all the best and I know we can win it."
