Penniless, poor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

needy

This clue is a double definition.

'penniless' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'poor' is the second definition.
(I know that needy is a type of poor)

(Other definitions for needy that I've seen before include "Penurious" , "Poverty-stricken" , "Poor; wanting affection" , "Hard up" , "penniless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
