Glower from club regular, not the first (5)
I believe the answer is:
ember
'glower' is the definition.
(something which glows)
'club regular not the first' is the wordplay.
'club regular' becomes 'member' (a member of a club).
'not the first' means to remove the first letter.
'member' with its first letter removed is 'EMBER'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for ember that I've seen before include "Fire remnant" , "Glowing remainder of a fire" , "Glowing coal; type of goose" , "Material in dying fire" , "showing residual fire" .)
