Send on attacking player (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forward

I believe this is a double definition.

'send on' is the first definition.
(as in forwarding a letter on)

'attacking player' is the second definition.
(eg in football)

(Other definitions for forward that I've seen before include "moving ahead" , "Attacking player" , "Footballer; ahead in time" , "Bold, overfamiliar" , "Officious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
