Cheers after snitch finally given cane (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rattan

'cane' is the definition.
(rattan cane is a kind of cane)

'cheers after snitch finally given' is the wordplay.
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (both can informally mean thank you).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'snitch' becomes 'rat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'given' is 'n'.
'ta' put after 'rat' is 'ratta'.
'ratta'+'n'='RATTAN'

(Other definitions for rattan that I've seen before include "A form of cane" , "Climbing palm used for wicker and canes" , "Palm tree with pliable stems used for furniture" , "Cane for weaving furniture" , "continuous drumbeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
