Introduced the new resident (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inserted

'introduced' is the definition.
('insert' can be a synonym of 'introduce')

'new resident' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'resident' with letters rearranged gives 'INSERTED'.

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for inserted that I've seen before include "Introduced" , "taken out? The opposite" , "Put in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
