Brag about clutch (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grab

'clutch' is the definition.
(I know that grab is a more specific form of clutch)

'brag about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'brag' anagrammed gives 'GRAB'.

(Other definitions for grab that I've seen before include "Seize suddenly" , "Seize rudely" , "interest" , "Grasp roughly" , "Seize roughly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
