Unhappy as steward, going in this direction? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eastwards

'going in this direction?' is the definition.
(eastwards is a compass direction)

'unhappy as steward' is the wordplay.
'unhappy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'as'+'steward'='assteward'
'assteward' anagrammed gives 'EASTWARDS'.

(Other definitions for eastwards that I've seen before include "To a point" , "direction?" , "Towards the Orient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
