Brann ended up as number 13 in the league, two places above direct relegation and only one place and seven points above relegation play-off.

  • November 11: Petter Vaagan Moen signed a two and a half year deal with Queens Park Rangers after his contract with Brann expired.[40] While Branns top goalscorer left for London, a fresh face was announced at Brann Stadion as Kongsvinger's Carl-Erik Torp was signed on a free transfer.[41]
