Steel Eric moved to city (9)
I believe the answer is:
leicester
'to city' is the definition.
(Leicester is an example)
'steel eric moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'steel'+'eric'='steeleric'
'steeleric' with letters rearranged gives 'LEICESTER'.
(Other definitions for leicester that I've seen before include "London film premiere location" , "City, Robert Dudley" , "County town on the river Soar" , "Sheep - cheese" , "Queen's favourite" .)
