Laggard - terrible waddler (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dawdler

'laggard' is the definition.
(I know that laggard can be written as dawdler)

'terrible waddler' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'waddler' anagrammed gives 'DAWDLER'.

(Other definitions for dawdler that I've seen before include "Loiterer" , "Slow coach" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
