Feckless person exhausted (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deadbeat

This clue is a double definition.

'feckless person' is the first definition.
(a deadbeat is a useless person)

'exhausted' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for deadbeat that I've seen before include "Disreputable person" , "Exhausted - layabout" , "extremely tired" , "idle so-and-so" , "Lazy, useless person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
