Norwegian international Braaten was one of many players brought into the club following Sammy Lee's decision to return to a 4-4-2 formation which was employed by the likes of previous managers such as Bruce Rioch and Colin Todd.

Official Comments:

"Danny is another quality signing for the club and I am delighted he has chosen Bolton Wanderers ahead of the other clubs around Europe who were chasing him." said Lee to the official Bolton website 

"He is a powerful winger, who can play on both flanks. He is very direct and likes to take on the defence with strong running and deft skill.He will complement the squad and give us a new outlet out wide providing excellent service to the forward line"

Sammy Lee (August 2007)

"It'll be tough to get some playing time initially, but I will try my best,"

"I have always wanted to play in the Premier League and this is a great chance for me. Bolton are a good team and have ambitions."

"I see myself as a striker but I can play on the wings. I like to create opportunities for other players. I m fast, forward and direct and I also like to entertain. I produce tricks along the way, whatever comes in handy."

"I've had one or two setbacks in the past but I seem to be on the right course now,"
