sportsman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an outdoor type' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'tramp's son turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' indicates anagramming the letters (turn out can mean to organise).
'tramps'+'son'='trampsson'
'trampsson' anagrammed gives 'SPORTSMAN'.

'to be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sportsman that I've seen before include "Chap aiming for game" , "Male athlete" , "Rower perhaps" , "Game fellow" , "player" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
