Measured trainer and loafer? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slowcoach

'loafer?' is the definition.
(slowcoach is a kind of loafer)

'measured trainer' is the wordplay.
'measured' becomes 'slow' (I've seen this in another clue).
'trainer' becomes 'coach' (coach is a kind of trainer).
'slow'+'coach'='SLOWCOACH'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for slowcoach that I've seen before include "Person (or transport?) taking a long time" , "Not a fast worker" , "plodder" , "certainly not one of the fleet" , "Snail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
