Crafty type welcomes newspaperman and those on the fast track (9)
I believe the answer is:
sprinters
'welcomes newspaperman and those on the fast track' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'crafty type' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'type' could be 'print' (both can mean printed text) and 'print' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
