Carriage bringing husband in for example (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shay

'carriage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'husband in for example' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'for example' becomes 'say' (I've seen this before).
'h' put into 'say' is 'SHAY'.

'bringing' is the link.

(Other definitions for shay that I've seen before include "carriage" , "Little Seamus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
