Sports club employee: no good? He delivers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roundsman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he delivers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sports club employee no good?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'sports' could be 'rounds' (round is a kind of sport) and 'rounds' is located in the answer.
'employee' could be 'man' and 'man' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roundsman that I've seen before include "He may deliver" , "One who delivers goods" , "Daily deliverer of milk, papers, etc" .)
