Kicks and pulls we hear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toes

'kicks' is the definition.
(toe can mean to kick someone with one's toe)

'pulls we hear' is the wordplay.
'pulls' becomes 'tows' (tow is a kind of pull).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'tows' sounds like 'TOES'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for toes that I've seen before include "What Pobble lacked (Lear)" , "Lower digits" , "Foot digits" , "Divisions of foot front" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
