Career
Baird was born in East Kilbride, Scotland, but began his professional career in England as a trainee with Wycombe Wanderers. He made his debut on 25 April 1998, whilst still a trainee, coming on as a late substitute for Mark Stallard in the 1–1 draw at home to Chesterfield.
He turned professional the following summer and soon established himself in the first team. However, a series of injuries later restricted his appearances and in the summer of 2002 he was released by the club because he was too prone to injuries.[3]
He joined Brackley Town where he found that a first team place was hard to come by. However, in 2005 he joined Banbury United where he has become an integral member of the team. In 2008, he transferred to Oxford City. He departed the club in 2010 due to work commitments.[4]
In March 2024, Baird came out of retirement at the age of 45 to sign registration forms with Southern Football League Division One South club Evesham United.[5]
Coaching career
In June 2023, Baird was appointed as first-team coach of Evesham United Ladies.[6][7]
