Sandworms irritated fencer (9)

I believe the answer is:

swordsman

'fencer' is the definition.
(I know that fencer can be written as swordsman)

'sandworms irritated' is the wordplay.
'irritated' indicates an anagram (letters disturbed or irritated).
'sandworms' is an anagram of 'SWORDSMAN'.

(Other definitions for swordsman that I've seen before include "Sandworms (anag.)" , "Person using old weapon - fencer" , "Skilled fencer" , "Fighter with a blade" , "Male fencer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
