Kent - tiger on the loose in town! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kettering

'town' is the definition.

'kent tiger on the loose' is the wordplay.
'on the loose' indicates an anagram.
'kent'+'tiger'='kenttiger'
'kenttiger' with letters rearranged gives 'KETTERING'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for kettering that I've seen before include "market town" , "Northants town" , "Northamptonshire town" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
