BIRMINGHAM signing Michael Jepsen Jensen will roll back the years after joining the star-studded line-up for fellow Dane Niels-Kristian Iversen’s testimonial.
Jensen will end an 11-year absence from the British scene when he lines up for the Brummies in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership in 2025 but his return to these shores will be in Peterborough colours at King’s Lynn’s Adrian Flux Arena on Sunday March 16 (3pm).
Iversen’s big day features a Four Team Tournament including Peterborough, a club he lifted the Elite League title with in 2006 and rode for in their final season at the East of England Arena in 2023.
Jensen, whose first two British seasons were spent at Alwalton, is joined by Oxford’s Peter Kildemand, current Ipswich captain Danny King and new King’s Lynn signing Ben Cook in the Panthers’ line-up.
Iversen said: “It’s a strong line-up with Grand Prix winners and former Danish World Cup colleagues MJJ and Peter Kildemand, former British Champion Danny King and new Stars No.1 Ben Cook, whom I both teamed up with at Peterborough.”
Robert Lambert, Chris Harris, Jan Kvech and Ashton Boughen will represent the Stars while Fredrik Lindgren, Sam Masters, Nikolai Klindt and Ryan Douglas don Wolverhampton colours.
The fourth quarter representing Newport, is still to be announced.
