Trains a different craftsman (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artisan

'craftsman' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'trains a different' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
'trains'+'a'='trainsa'
'trainsa' anagrammed gives 'ARTISAN'.

(Other definitions for artisan that I've seen before include "Skilled tradesman" , "Egypt peninsula; holy Mount" , "Sinatra (anag) -- skilled manual worker" , "Crafty sort" , "man with skill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
