Striker finds security at game (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

safety match

'striker' is the definition.
(something struck to produce a flame)

'security at game' is the wordplay.
'security' becomes 'safety' (being secure is being safe).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'game' becomes 'match' (eg a football match).
'safety'+'match'='SAFETY-MATCH'

'finds' is the link.

(Other definitions for safety match that I've seen before include "It needs a special surface to ignite" , "Not a dangerous striker" , "limited striker" , "Home striker" , "light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
