Crossword Genius

In the morning fellow is found in capital city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amman

'capital city' is the definition.
(the capital of Jordan)

'in the morning fellow' is the wordplay.
'in the morning' becomes 'am'.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before**).
'am'+'man'='AMMAN'

'is found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for amman that I've seen before include "Jordanian capital" , "Asian capital" , "Jordan's capital" , "A capital f-fellow in Jordan?" , "Jordanian city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
