What supporter has in street, playing with ball (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rosette

'what supporter has' is the definition.
(supporters might wear rosettes)

'street playing with ball' is the wordplay.
'playing with' indicates an anagram.
'ball' becomes 'o' (O looks like a ball).
'street' mixed up with 'o' can make 'ROSETTE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rosette that I've seen before include "Ribbon decoration" , "Colourful decoration worn by supporters" , "Arrangement of ribbons presented as a prize" , "collection of ribbons" , "decoration showing support for party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
