Last fellow broke nail (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

final

'last' is the definition.
(I know that last can be written as final)

'fellow broke nail' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'F' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'broke' is an anagram indicator.
'nail' anagrammed gives 'inal'.
'f'+'inal'='FINAL'

(Other definitions for final that I've seen before include "Concluding" , "Conclusive" , "Not to be altered" , "The last exam or leg of competition" , "Coming at the end" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
