Gets back from the River Tees (9)

I believe the answer is:

retrieves

'gets back' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'from the river tees' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (from the letters).
'river'+'tees'='rivertees'
'rivertees' anagrammed gives 'RETRIEVES'.

(Another definition for retrieves that I've seen is " Goes for and brings back".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
