Article attracted boy (6)

I believe the answer is:

andrew

'boy' is the definition.

'article attracted' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'attracted' becomes 'drew' (I've seen this before).
'an'+'drew'='ANDREW'

(Other definitions for andrew that I've seen before include "Patron saint of Scotland, Russia" , "Royal prince" , "Wander (anag)" , "Father of Beatrice and Eugenie" , "Scotland's patron saint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
