One drafted in — being cute, I end getting redeployed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inductee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one drafted in' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'cute i end getting redeployed' is the wordplay.
'getting redeployed' is an anagram indicator.
'cute'+'i'+'end'='cuteiend'
'cuteiend' is an anagram of 'INDUCTEE'.

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for inductee that I've seen is " One formally admitted (to an organisation)".)
