Goldfinger having sport among spooks from the East (5)
I believe the answer is:
auric
'goldfinger' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sport among spooks from the east' is the wordplay.
'sport' becomes 'RU' (rugby union).
'among' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are placed among others).
'spooks' becomes 'CIA' (spooks can mean spies).
'from the east' is a reversal indicator (on a map from right to left).
'ru' placed within 'cia' is 'cirua'.
'cirua' written backwards gives 'AURIC'.
'having' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for auric that I've seen before include "Relating to a form of gold" , "Hugh -, Labour party leader" , "French composer" , "- Goldfinger (Bond)" , "Golden" .)
