After establishing himself as a first team regular over the past few years, Baird signed a new one-year deal in May 2017.[4] Baird signed a further one-year extension to his contract in January 2018, tying him to the club until the summer of 2019 after showing impressive form.[5]

In January 2019, Baird signed a further two-year contract extension meaning that he will be at the club until the summer of 2021.[6]
