Burly man gets newspaper at the end of the day (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hefty

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

'man gets newspaper at the end of the day' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'newspaper' becomes 'FT' (Financial Times newspaper).
'at the end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'day' is 'y'.
'he'+'ft'+'y'='HEFTY'

(Other definitions for hefty that I've seen before include "Hulking" , "Big and strong" , "Sizeable" , "Burly" , "Large and beefy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
