Crossword Genius

Second team player (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

back

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'second' is the first definition.
(to second a motion is to back it)

'team player' is the second definition.
(eg back is a type of rugby player)

(Other definitions for back that I've seen before include "Returned" , "Support - rear" , "Stern" , "ago" , "See 12" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
