Burnley manager Sean Dyche won't rule out keeping Chris Baird.
Although Baird's original contract with the club has come to an end, Dyche hopes they have not seen the last of him in a claret and blue shirt.
Dyche told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "His is purely a lifestyle choice. He has been based down south for a long time. He knows that we're interested in having him with us.
"As you can imagine he's been in the Premier League a long time, his would not be a financial decision, his would be a family decision - for the right reasons by the way.
"I don't have to convince anyone, you've all seen what he can do, the fans have seen what he can do - he's a very solid, very reliable, very good professional footballer.
"But he is old enough and wise enough to know it (the move) has to fit his life as well.
"That's just an ongoing thing just to say 'go and have a chat with the family, have a holiday etc', but he's certainly one we'd look at keeping."
