City pro turned out to be islander (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cypriot

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

'city pro turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' is an anagram indicator.
'city'+'pro'='citypro'
'citypro' anagrammed gives 'CYPRIOT'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cypriot that I've seen before include "One from Larnaca, say" , "Eg, a native of Nicosia" , "Mediterranean islander" , "One from Larnaka, say" , "One from Paphos, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
