Everton Tigers head coach Henry Mooney is looking abroad to find players that can challenge for silverware next year.

Tigers' debut season in the BBL ended with a 81-72 play-off quarter final defeat at Guildford Heat.

Mooney told BBC Radio Merseyside: "We are speaking to players and agents now. We will make a list of what we need and then prioritise.

"We're looking overseas and at bringing in two or three new players. We will finish in the top four next season."

On his side's run to the play-offs, Mooney added: "It was our goal at the start of the season and we have achieved that.

"The Guilford game was very close. I don't like complaining about officials but some decisions went against us at crucial times and that costs you games."
