Withdraw when about to get weary (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retire

'withdraw' is the definition.
('retire' can be a synonym of 'withdraw')

'about to get weary' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'to get weary' becomes 'tire' (I've seen this before).
're'+'tire'='RETIRE'

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for retire that I've seen before include "Go to bed or quit work for good" , "Withdraw - give up work - go to bed" , "Leave job permanently (6)" , "Stop climbing the ladder" , "Stop work - go to bed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
