Current rock player (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

actor

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

'current rock' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'ac' (alternating current).
'rock' becomes 'tor' (tor is a kind of rock).
'ac'+'tor'='ACTOR'

(Other definitions for actor that I've seen before include "Films/stage worker" , "Thesp" , "Dramatic artist" , "Stage-player" , "Cruise maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
