Forward in super team (4)

I believe the answer is:

pert

'forward' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in super team' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PERT' is hidden within 'super team'.

(Other definitions for pert that I've seen before include "Forward - saucy" , "Impudent, cheeky" , "Persian expert" , "Jaunty" , "Cheeky, saucy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
