Contacted revolutionary, a revolutionary's admitted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reached

'contacted' is the definition.
('reach' can be a synonym of 'contact')

'revolutionary a revolutionary's admitted' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'red'.
'revolutionary' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'admitted' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a'+'che'='ache'
'red' enclosing 'ache' is 'REACHED'.

(Other definitions for reached that I've seen before include "Came to (a place)" , "Cad here (anag.)" , "Stretched or arrived" , "Attained" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
