Self-centred, I get Stoic for a change (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egotistic

'self-centred' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i get stoic for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'get'+'stoic'='igetstoic'
'igetstoic' is an anagram of 'EGOTISTIC'.

(Other definitions for egotistic that I've seen before include "Self-centred" , "self-absorbed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
