No homecoming for Robbie
North Queensland Fury striker Robbie Fowler has denied a report he is set to reunite with former Liverpool team-mate John Barnes at Tranmere and insists his future remains in Australia.
Fowler, 34, signed a two-year contract with the new A-League franchise in February although he has yet to make his debut or even taken part in a full training session due to a string of injuries.
But despite his lack of match practice after his three-month contract with Blackburn expired in December, Fowler has been linked with a move to Prenton Park where former Celtic and Jamaica manager Barnes is now at the helm after taking over from Ronnie Moore last month.
"I don't know where it's come from," said Fowler. "It looks like somebody's put two and two together and come up with six. "I've got a two-year contract with North Queensland Fury FC and I'm a man of my word - I'll play it out.
"I wouldn't want anyone to do that sort of thing to me and I certainly wouldn't do it anyone. There's nothing to this - my family has just arrived and they wouldn't have travelled all this way if I had any intention to leave."
Jason McAteer, a former Liverpool team-mate of Barnes and Fowler, is also employed as Barnes' assistant at Tranmere, who just missed out on the League One play-offs last season on the final day.
