Club requiring fresh players, one held by Yorkshire team, briefly (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
newcastle united
'held by yorkshire team briefly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'club requiring fresh players one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fresh' could be 'new' (associated in meaning) and 'new' is found in the answer.
'players' could be 'cast' (group of actors) and 'cast' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'united' (synonyms) and 'united' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for newcastle united that I've seen before include "Sports team" , "Tyneside football team" .)
