A manor's refurbished for sportsman (7)
I believe the answer is:
oarsman
'sportsman' is the definition.
(I know that oarsman is a type of sportsman)
'a manor's refurbished' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'manors'='amanors'
'amanors' anagrammed gives 'OARSMAN'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for oarsman that I've seen before include "Male rower" , "A male small boat propeller" , "Craft worker" , "One pulling in boat" , "Member of rowing crew" .)
