\"Darren Pratley helped Swansea win promotion to the Premier League last season<\/span> <\/p>\n

Bolton have made their first signing of the summer after midfielder Darren Pratley, who decided to leave Swansea, agreed a four-year deal at the club.<\/p>\n

Pratley, 26, was out of contract at Swansea after 199 appearances for them in five years, the last being the play-off final win over Reading at Wembley.<\/p>\n

“We’re delighted to have Darren here,” Bolton manager Owen Coyle said.<\/p>\n

“A number of clubs were interested in him and we are pleased to have secured his services.”<\/p>\n

Midfielder Pratley, a \u00a3100,000 signing from Fulham in 2006, recently denied he had agreed to join Bolton Wanderers.<\/p>\n

Pratley helped Swansea win two promotions in his five years in south Wales, but negotiations on a new contract were put on hold throughout last season.<\/p>\n

The energetic midfielder lost his starting place in the latter part of last season as Swansea secured a play-off place by finishing third in the Championship.<\/p>\n

He scored after coming on in Swansea’s play-off semi-final second-leg victory over Nottingham Forest<\/a> and played the last 35 minutes as a substitute in Swansea’s final win over Reading<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
