Baird joins Rams

Last updated : 19 June 2015 By Wba-mad Editor

Former Albion defender Chris Baird has joined Championship side Derby County after his release from the Baggies. 

Baird made 24 appearances for the Baggies last season when he joined the club around this time last summer. 

But the 33-year-old failed to earn a performance-related extension to his Hawthorns contract and has now joined for Albion old boy Scott Carson at the iPro Stadium. 

Both Leeds and Fulham had been linked with the versatile Northern Ireland international after his departure from the Black Country. 

Baird, who started only nine league games after joining from Burnley, failed to find the net during his Albion career. He has signed a two-year deal with Derby.
