Had confidence in (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trusted

'had confidence in' is the definition.
('trust' can be a synonym of 'have confidence in')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for trusted that I've seen before include "Reposed confidence in" , "Relied upon" , "Put faith in" , "Have confidence or faith in" , "Banked on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Newsday and the Sydney Morning Herald.
