Gave backing to (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endorsed

(Other definitions for endorsed that I've seen before include "Formally backed" , "Publicly declared support (for something)" , "Declared one's approval of" , "Wrote one's signature on the back" , "Gave the go-ahead" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
