Not long ago, left-winger moved to the middle again (9)

I believe the answer is:

recentred

'moved to the middle again' is the definition.
(put in the centre again)

'not long ago left-winger' is the wordplay.
'not long ago' becomes 'recent' (recent means a short time ago).
'left-winger' becomes 'red' (red is a kind of left-winger).
'recent'+'red'='RECENTRED'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
