Another old craft makes a comeback (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

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

'old craft makes a comeback' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'craft' becomes 'art' (both can mean cunning or trickery).
'makes a comeback' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'making a comeback' mean this).
'art' back-to-front is 'tra'.
'ex'+'tra'='EXTRA'

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Bit player in film" , "Not a hit certainly" , "outside" , "leg bye perhaps" , "One playing a minor part" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
