Season with Italian club (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winter

'season' is the definition.
(winter is a kind of season)

'with italian club' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'italian club' becomes 'inter' (inter milan).
'w'+'inter'='WINTER'

(Other definitions for winter that I've seen before include "period of discontent?" , "period of freeze?" , "Cold period" , "Cold season" , "Time for mittens and scarves?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
