It was a case of the prodigal son returns when Per rejoined Bolton Wanderers in July 2000. His time at Blackburn Rovers had not been particularly successful and he now had the perfect opportunity to re-establish himself as one of the best midfield players outside the Premiership.
However, restored in a central midfield role for Wanderers, he sometimes struggled to find his best form and it was only in the Play-Offs that he really showed what he was capable of. Nevertheless he was still an important member of the team and was particularly effective taking set-piece kicks.
Per joined Wigan Athletic in July 2004 on a one-year contract.
