I believe the answer is:

longer

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

'that's extended' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'no good in a new role' is the wordplay.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'a new' indicates an anagram.
'role' is an anagram of 'loer'.
'ng' going within 'loer' is 'LONGER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for longer that I've seen before include "More extended" , "Less short" , "Of greater duration" , "Of greater length" , "Measuring greater distance end to end" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
