Role chair played in Belgian city (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charleroi

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

'role chair played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates an anagram (letters playing around).
'role'+'chair'='rolechair'
'rolechair' anagrammed gives 'CHARLEROI'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for charleroi that I've seen before include "Belgian place" , "European location" , "in Belgium" , "Belgian city" , "somewhere near Brussels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
