Daniel Braut (born 1 May 2005) is a Norwegianfootballer who currently plays as astriker forTromsø.
At sixteen years old, Braut signed his first professional contract withSandnes Ulf in February 2022. The contract lasted for three years.[2]In April, his first match for the club came againstKongsvinger in the1. divisjon, while his first goal came three months later againstÅsane at home in a 6–0 win.[3] In September the next year, Braut extended his contract with the club, this time lasting until the end of the 2025 season.[4]He extended his contract once again in February 2024, only six months after the previous extension, lasting an additional year, through the 2026 season.[5]
The 2024 season would turn out to be Braut's most productive season at Sandnes Ulf, finishing the season with 5 goals, second most by a player from Sandnes Ulf, only behindTommy Høiland.[6] This happened despite the club's poor points tally, and eventual last place and relegation.[7] In the summer transfer window, bothSarpsborg 08 and ItalianSerie A sideTorino tried to sign Braut, but Sandnes Ulf rejected both bids.[8][9]
In February 2025, Braut was loaned out to theEliteserien clubTromsø. The loan was described as a short-term loan, lasting until the summer, with an option to buy for Tromsø.[10][11] Braut's debut for the club came in the opening game of the season againstHaugesund, where he was subbed on forVegard Erlien in the 87th minute.[12] His first goal for the club came in aNorwegian Cup tie againstHamna, after first missing a penalty. Braut would go on to score five out of the ten goals scored in the game, and would subsequently be Tromsø's top scorer in the competition that season.[13]
After eleven games and five goals, Tromsø decided to use the option to buy Braut from Sandnes Ulf on 18 June 2025. The total amount for both the loan and the permanent move was reported to be around 4 million NOK.[14][15] Braut's first goal in the Eliteserien came about two weeks later, as he scored the winning goal againstMolde on 6 July, after once again being subbed on for Vegard Erlien.[16][17]
Braut has appeared for both the NorwegianU19 andU20 team.[3] He was included inLuís Pimenta's U19 squad for the2024 European U19 Championship inNorthern Ireland in early July 2024.[18] Braut subsequently went on to score three goals in the tournament, one againstItaly, and two againstNorthern Ireland, finishing the tournament as its top scorer.[19]
Braut is fifth cousin of fellow footballerErling Haaland, although he has stated that he doesn't know him personally and has never talked to him.[20]
