Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has made a sensational return to his former club after a spell playing in the Australian A-League.
The ex-Reds striker who now plays for Perth Glory has been training with Liverpool in a bid to maintain his fitness during the close-season.
With the new campaign not due to start until October, Fowler has joined the backroom staff at League One side MK Dons, and will also spend time at League Two Bury assisting caretaker manager Richie Barker in a coaching capacity.
But despite having taken some steps towards becoming a coach after he retires, Liverpool's former No.9 is set to play out one more season in Australia before hanging up his boots once and for all.
Anfield coach Pep Segura spoke of his great admiration for Fowler who displayed a 'great attitude' as he trained with the reserve team squad yesterday.
"It is beneficial to Robbie because we can help him stay sharp. He is a professional and his behaviour on the pitch was fantastic."
And the Spaniard believes that Robbie's presence can have a significant impact on Liverpool's promising youngsters.
"Everybody responded well and it was a great moment for them to have the chance to train with a Liverpool legend.
"His attitude was great and he was the perfect example for our lads. He will train with us again and could be with us for the week that follows."
