Chris Baird is excited about his future at Fulham.
Rewarded with a new contract last September, Baird looks set to play his part for many seasons to come.
"I do feel like I am part of this team now," he told fulhamfc.com. "That wasn't always the case because I wasn't playing. I was chuffed to bits to sign a new contract, and I think that is a sign that the Club has the utmost faith in my ability and that I can play a part in where this team wants to go.
"I had a hard time at the start, everyone knows that. But I'm glad that I managed to turn things around. There was probably an element of proving a few people wrong - I can't deny that. It's nice to hear and read the positive comments about my contribution. But I've worked hard for that."
