Attracted many with a share of the reward (4)

I believe the answer is:

drew

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

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

'many with a share of the reward' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'd'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a share of the reward' becomes 'rew' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'd'+'rew'='DREW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drew that I've seen before include "Dragged, finished level" , "Entertainer Barrymore" , "neither won nor lost" , "Ronnie of the Dubliners" , "Sketched or tied in a game" .)
