New intern due to get contract (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indenture

'contract' is the definition.
(indenture is a kind of contract)

'new intern due' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'intern'+'due'='interndue'
'interndue' with letters rearranged gives 'INDENTURE'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for indenture that I've seen before include "Agreement binding apprentice to a master" , "Bind to service" , "Sealed agreement" , "contract" , "Document" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
