Player 'stuffed' the other side (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

full back

'player' is the definition.
(type of footballer)

'stuffed the other side' is the wordplay.
'stuffed' becomes 'full' (similar in meaning).
'the other side' becomes 'back' (the back side).
'full'+'back'='FULL BACK'

(Another definition for full back that I've seen is " footballer".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
