Woodworker who fits in socially? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

joiner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'woodworker' is the definition.
(I know that joiner is a type of woodworker)

'fits in socially?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'who' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for joiner that I've seen before include "Saw user maybe" , "Skilled woodworker" , "Carpenter" , "Person who makes finished woodwork" , "One eager to belong; woodworker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
