Chris Baird could be back on the market in January.
Former Fulham utility Baird says he is yet to learn whether he will be getting a new deal at Reading.
"So up until January, I'll keep doing what I can for Reading and we'll see what happens.
"At the end of the day it's down to the club. I'm very grateful to them for letting me come here."
Baird was interesting Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion before signing for Reading.
