Associate; helper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ally

This clue is a double definition.

'associate' is the first definition.
(ally is a kind of associate)

'helper' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for ally that I've seen before include "One on one's side" , "Friend and colleague" , "Colleague, confederate" , "Crony" , "Comrade in arms" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
