Fidgety as ever, it’s moving about (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

restive

'fidgety' is the definition.
('restive' can be a synonym of 'fidgety')

'ever it's moving about' is the wordplay.
'moving about' indicates an anagram.
'ever'+'its'='everits'
'everits' anagrammed gives 'RESTIVE'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for restive that I've seen before include "Impatient of authority" , "Unsettled" , "Resisting control, nervous or impatient" , "Impatient - jumpy" , "Unable to stay still" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
