Renegade can’t tour after review (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turncoat

'renegade' is the definition.
('turncoat' can be a synonym of 'renegade')

'can't tour after review' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'review' indicates an anagram.
'cant'+'tour'='canttour'
'canttour' with letters rearranged gives 'TURNCOAT'.

(Other definitions for turncoat that I've seen before include "'Renegade, traitor (8)'" , "Traitor with inverted garment" , "treacherous as one?" , "Judas" , "One betraying party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
