Send on striker (7)

I believe the answer is:

forward

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'send on' is the first definition.
('forward' can be a synonym of 'send on')

'striker' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for forward that I've seen before include "Onward" , "moving ahead" , "Promote" , "Ahead; impertinent" , "Bold, overfamiliar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
