Harbinger, messenger (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

herald

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'harbinger' is the first definition.
(I know that harbinger can be written as herald)

'messenger' is the second definition.
(I know that herald is a type of messenger)

(Other definitions for herald that I've seen before include "College of Arms official" , "Bringer of news" , "Proclaim the approach of, like archaic messenger" , "Presage for old announcer" , "Proclaimer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
