Financial backer provides new angle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angel

'financial backer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new angle' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'angle' is an anagram of 'ANGEL'.

'provides' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "Theatre financier" , "Investor in a theatrical venture" , "Heavenly messenger" , "one might be recording" , "darling!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
