Baird has vast experience at International and Premiership level having played over 300 games, most at this high level. Baird has 72 Northern Irish caps to his name.

Baird has signed on a two year contract with the option for another year if things go well. He can play in a couple of roles, his main one is in the defence but has also played as a defensive midfielder, a position Derby were sadly lack last season when injuries to George Thorne and later on John Eustace gave them major headaches and must have contributed to the sharpe loss of form for the side in the last few months of the season.
