Short, sturdy (6)

I believe the answer is:

stocky

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'short' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'sturdy' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stocky that I've seen before include "Heavily-built" , "Thickset" , "Broad" , "Short and solidly built" , "Small and well built" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
