NIELS-KRISTIAN Iversen will be wearing Peterborough colours once again this season – 13 years after he last rode for the club.
The Panthers have named the Danish star, who last appeared for Peterborough in 2010, in their starting one-to-seven for the 2023 campaign and he becomes the fourth winter signing following Benjamin Basso, Ben Cook and Jordan Jenkins. Co-promoter Carl Johnson said: “Niels is a proven heat leader and a proven No. 1 in the Premiership, and he’s been one of the best in the world throughout his career. “It’s fantastic that we can make a signing like him and bring him back to the club, especially after he never got to ride for us in 2020. “He’s certainly going to be a crowd favourite again, and I think looking at his form from last season he was the outstanding man at King’s Lynn until he had to leave, and that’s when they disappeared down the table. “He loves the Showground, it’s one of his favourite tracks, and it puts another great rider into the line-up. I think what we’ve got so far is a superb starting point.”
