Fulham have confirmed defender Chris Baird has signed a new deal at Craven Cottage.

Defender signs new contract until 2013

Fulham have confirmed defender Chris Baird has signed a new deal at Craven Cottage. As revealed by skysports.com earlier on Tuesday, Baird has agreed a new three-year deal to keep him in West London until 2013. Baird joined Fulham from Southampton in the summer of 2007 and he has established himself as a key member of the squad. Fulham were keen to keep the versatile Northern Ireland international as he has helped provide cover in defence and midfield for the Cottagers. The news is a boost for Fulham boss Mark Hughes as he looks to secure the futures of a number of players who are coming to the end of their contracts.
