To us, new drawback comes in, away from the centre (8)
I believe the answer is:
outwards
'away from the centre' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to us new drawback comes in' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'drawback' becomes 'ward' (I've seen this in other clues).
'comes in' indicates putting letters inside.
'to'+'us'='tous'
'tous' is an anagram of 'outs'.
'outs' placed around 'ward' is 'OUTWARDS'.
(Other definitions for outwards that I've seen before include "Away from the centre" , "In an external direction" .)
