Wanderers boss Neil Lennon will be hoping Brattan can add something extra in his midfield to help Bolton get a few results that they desperately need.

He played at the Brisbane Roar for five years, where he won three A-League titles with the club.
It is believed he was brought to their attention by bosses at the Blues’ sister club, Melbourne City.
Brattan was born in Hull, but moved to Australia at a young age.
It has been reported that Brattan has signed a four year deal at the English Premier League side, which finished second last season.
The 25-year old has been capped eight times, scoring once, for the Australian u20s side and was recently called up the Australia squad for the first time – to replace the injured Mile Jedinak for a World Cup 2018 qualifier against Bangladesh.
However, the signing of the crisp-passing 25-year old, and his subsequent loaning to Championship basement club Bolton has gained a few pace with many media sources commenting on the news.
His compatriot Tim Cahill, the former Everton player, expressed his congratulations on the deal with City and the subsequent move to the Macron Stadium.
