Opponent's not against spinning (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antagonist

'opponent's' is the definition.
('antagonist' can be a synonym of 'opponent')

'not against spinning' is the wordplay.
'spinning' indicates an anagram.
'not'+'against'='notagainst'
'notagainst' is an anagram of 'ANTAGONIST'.

(Other definitions for antagonist that I've seen before include "Adversary" , "Hostile person" , "5 down (anag)" , "Opponent" , "One who is hostile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
