Fresh letters in support (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trestle

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

'fresh letters' is the wordplay.
'fresh' is an anagram indicator.
'letters' with letters rearranged gives 'TRESTLE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for trestle that I've seen before include "Frame to hold table" , "Braced framework" , "support of growth" , "Wooden frame" , "Braced support" .)

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