Remain working as a soldier (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marine

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

'remain working' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'remain' anagrammed gives 'MARINE'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for marine that I've seen before include "Sea-soldier" , "Member of the forces" , "jolly" , "seaman" , "'Nautical, maritime (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
