Surrounded by some of the team on getting a goal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

among

'surrounded by' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'some of the team on getting a goal' is the wordplay.
'some of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AMONG' is hidden in the letters of 'team on getting goal'.

(Other definitions for among that I've seen before include "Amidst" , "In an assembly of" , "when in company" , "in a group" , "Surrounded by" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
