Gets closer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nears

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">gets closer</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(to near is to approach or get closer)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for nears that I've seen before include "Comes closer" , "Uses snare to get closer" , "Saner (anag.)" , "advances" , "Moves closer to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Mirror.
