BANGKOK - Former England and Liverpool
forward Robbie Fowler has joined Muangthong United and will be
formally unveiled on Sunday, the Thai Premier League (TPL) club
said in a statement on Friday.
Fowler will have his medical on Saturday before the
36-year-old striker completes his surprise move to the Thai
club, having quit A-League team Perth Glory in June saying he
did not want to uproot his young family again for another season
in Australia.
He would be officially unveiled as a Muangthong player at
the club's stadium on Sunday, deputy chairman Wiluck Lohtong was
quoted as saying on the club website.
Club officials could not be reached for further details
about Fowler's contract.
According to a local media report, Fowler would be the
seventh foreign recruit of the side, who won back-to-back titles
in 2009 and 2010.
