Biography

Bager was born in Esbjerg.[1] Bager has competed in the UK since 1991, when he made his debut with Glasgow Tigers.[1] He has since been part of several teams including Elite League Peterborough Panthers, Lakeside Hammers and Belle Vue Aces.[1] In 2009 he broke his left leg in three places while riding for Panthers.[1] He was fit again to ride in 2010 and appeared in seven meetings for Redcar Bears before being released after a poor run of form.[1][2] He had a brief spell with Stoke Potters shortly afterwards.[3] In August 2010 Bager was banned for the remainder of the season by the Danish authorities after being involved in a fight during a Danish league match.[1] He returned to British racing in June 2011 when he was signed by Leicester Lions to replace Richard Sweetman, continuing to ride for the Lions for the rest of the season.[1][4] In December 2011 he signed to ride for Coventry Bees in the 2012 Elite League season.[5] Henning currently rides for Berwick Bandits in the Premier League
