Get back control around Georgia (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regain

'get back' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'control around georgia' is the wordplay.
'control' becomes 'rein' (reining is a kind of controlling).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'georgia' becomes 'GA' (abbreviation for the US state).
'rein' enclosing 'ga' is 'REGAIN'.

(Other definitions for regain that I've seen before include "Get back (previously owned object)" , "Get back, recover the use of" , "Recover - in gear (anag)" , "Recover, retrieve" , "Take back (the Ashes, for example)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
