Jack Baird

Jack Baird of Raith Rovers was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 7 February 1997 (age 29).

Jack Baird, born on 7 February 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish central defender with Raith Rovers, where he wears the number 6 shirt. His career has been built in the Scottish game rather than decorated by fuss, which is no bad thing for a centre-half.

His strongest league campaign came with Greenock Morton in 2022-23, when he scored 7 goals in 35 appearances. That is a useful return from central defence, and it remains the clearest marker of his impact at that level.

In 2026-27, Baird made one league appearance for St Johnstone before moving on to Raith Rovers, where he made three league appearances. His market value is listed at around £64,000 by Transfermarkt.

Baird’s career is that of an established Scottish defender who has moved through Morton, St Johnstone and Raith Rovers, with his best spell of productivity coming at Cappielow.
