Split career (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tear

This clue is a double definition.

'split' is the first definition.
('tear' can be a synonym of 'split')

'career' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "Secretion of the lachrymal glands" , "Dash; drop" , "Shred" , "Optical sign of sorrow" , "Small flaw, as in glass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
