Person with an older and more experienced mentor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

protege

(Other definitions for protege that I've seen before include "Pupil, follower" , "One supported by a person of greater experience" , "One under the patronage of another" , "One supported by someone more experienced" , "Pupil under patronage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
