A season long loan has been arranged between Derby County and Fulham.
Baird has had to wait for an opportunity with the Rams, having played just 16 times after his transfer from West Bromwich Albion in June 2015.
The loan is thought to be of advantage to both Baird, with the European Championships coming up this year, Baird need to get in match practice, and to Fulham who are trying to avoid relegation from the Championship.
It is not known if this could signal the departure of Baird on a permanent basis, but Baird has already had six years at Craven Cottage during his career and a buy out of his contract, which has around two years left to run, may be on the cards
