Article paper gets behind (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aft

'behind' is the definition.
(aft means towards or at the end of a ship)

'article paper' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'paper' becomes 'ft' (newspaper the FT, Financial Times).
'a'+'ft'='AFT'

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aft that I've seen before include "To the rear on board" , "Near the rear (of ship)" , "Towards rear (of ship)" , "Toward's a ship's stern" , "behind boat" .)
