He watches sport, etc. A mish-mash (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spectator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he watches' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'sport etc a mish-mash' is the wordplay.
'sport etc a' anagrams to 'SPECTATOR'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spectator that I've seen before include "one found at ground?" , "One attends match" , "fan" , "He attends matches" , "Looker-on" .)
