Fervent proponent (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zealot

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for zealot that I've seen before include "Fanatic, obsessed person" , "Fanatic, usually religious" , "One ardent for cause" , "Fanatic person, much too enthusiastic" , "Fanatical believer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
