Right winger without a mangle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wringer

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

'right winger without' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'without' indicates putting letters inside.
'r' placed into 'winger' is 'WRINGER'.

(Other definitions for wringer that I've seen before include "Old-fashioned clothes dryer" , "Old clothes dryer" , "Kitchen appliance" , "trouble when put through this?" , "A mangle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
