Spooner's diver could have second job (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moonlight

'have second job' is the definition.
(moonlighting can mean doing a second job secretly)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for moonlight that I've seen before include "Burn the midnight oil" , "Hold a second job" , "Perform work at night" , "Lunar rays seen in thin gloom" , "Ray" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
