How the clue works
Here the definition is hooker's job, because in a rugby scrum the hooker heels the ball back. For the wordplay, "getting better" gives you HEALING, and "we're told" is the homophone signal, so you say it aloud and it sounds like HEELING. The little word "in" just links the two halves.
