Crossword Genius

Part of team at Euros but not getting paid (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amateur

'not getting paid' is the definition.
(as opposed to a paid professional)

'part of team at euros' is the wordplay.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AMATEUR' can be found hidden inside 'team at euros'.

'but' is the link.

(Other definitions for amateur that I've seen before include "Unpaid player" , "Not pro" , "Unpaid or unskilled" , "refusing payment" , "Non-pro" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
