The Sydney Morning Herald claims that Fowler will replace John Aloisi as FC's marquee man next season.

If confirmed it will be a case of second time lucky for the Moore Park men. They tried and failed to secure Fowler's services ahead of the 2007-8 season, Fowler instead opting for Championship club Cardiff City.

Fowler proved a big draw at the SFS last season, scoring a stunning goal in a famous win for former club Fury.
