Recent draw surprisingly inspiring pro footballer (6,7)

I believe the answer is:

centre forward

'footballer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recent draw surprisingly inspiring pro' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates an anagram.
'inspiring' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pro' becomes 'for' (I've seen this before).
'recent'+'draw'='recentdraw'
'recentdraw' is an anagram of 'centreward'.
'centreward' placed around 'for' is 'CENTRE FORWARD'.

(Another definition for centre forward that I've seen is " footballer".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
