Player has positive response (3)

I believe the answer is:

aye

'positive response' is the definition.
(dialect term for 'yes')

'player has' is the wordplay.
'has' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AYE' can be found hidden inside 'player'.

(Other definitions for aye that I've seen before include "Positive voting response" , "Indeed" , "Yes answer in voting" , "Yes; ever" , "Entirely one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
