Footballers seldom seen at home? (6)
I believe the answer is:
rovers
'footballers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rovers that I've seen before include "Wanderers - a soccer club?" , "Roamers" , "Wanderers, wild in song" , "football team" .)
