The Bluebirds have the option to extend Fowler's contract by a further season, but the former Liverpool forward has spent much of the campaign injured on the sidelines.

Fowler's agent George Scott has revealed the 33-year-old will make a decision on his future after the FA Cup final on May 17 - a game in which he could still feature after recovering from a hip problem.

"Robbie needs to sit down in the summer and decide what he wants to do in the future," Scott told the Western Mail.

"At a push, in all probability, he will stay, but you do not want to be rushed into anything when there is the opportunity to take your time about it.

"I know the chairman [Peter Ridsdale] and manager at Cardiff want Robbie to stay. I think Dave Jones is well aware of what Robbie is capable of. It is just a matter of thinking things through now."
