Youngster, nipper (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprog

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'youngster' is the first definition.
(I know that sprog is a type of youngster)

'nipper' is the second definition.
(I know that sprog is a type of nipper)

(Other definitions for sprog that I've seen before include "Child; recruit (mil. slang)" , "Infant" , "Child, colloquially" , "Kid" , "little one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
