Company support Asian striker (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cobra

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'asian striker' is the definition.
'cobra' can be an answer for 'striker' (I have seen 'dangerous striker' mean 'cobra' so perhaps 'striker' could also mean 'cobra'). I am not certain of the 'asian' bit.

'company support' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'support' becomes 'bra' (a support for the breasts).
'co'+'bra'='COBRA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cobra that I've seen before include "Poisonous snake" , "Something with a hood" , "dangerous striker" , "Venomous hooded snake" , "Sinuous creature" .)
