Crossword Genius

Forward in a super team (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pert

'forward' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in a super team' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PERT' is hidden in the letters of 'super team'.

(Other definitions for pert that I've seen before include "Jaunty" , "Irreverent or saucy" , "Saucy and impudent" , "Saucy, maybe brash" , "Persian expert" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
