Boy in church worried his rector (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chorister

'boy in church' is the definition.
(boy in a choir)

'worried his rector' is the wordplay.
'worried' indicates an anagram.
'his'+'rector'='hisrector'
'hisrector' anagrammed gives 'CHORISTER'.

(Other definitions for chorister that I've seen before include "Boy singing" , "Choirboy or girl" , "Boy in church" , "Church, cathedral singer" , "Choir member" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
