One who follows (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

successor

'one who follows' is the definition.
(a successor follows someone else)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for successor that I've seen before include "One who follows another" , "Person who follows next in order" , "One following another" , "for one of the following people" , "One who's after" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
