Old player determined to get a ham regional accent (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mummerset

'a ham regional accent' is the definition.
(Mummerset means a pretend Somerset accent)

'old player determined' is the wordplay.
'old player' becomes 'mummer' (historical type of miming actor).
'determined' becomes 'set' (synonyms).
'mummer'+'set'='MUMMERSET'

'to get' is the link.
