'We'll need to add to improve' - Crooks
Goalscorer Crooks after City survive relegation
- Published
Hull City midfielder Matt Crooks says that despite having "so much quality in the squad", the side will need to bolster their numbers if they want to avoid another relegation battle next season.
The Tigers secured another year in the Championship after Crooks scored the opening goal, with Portsmouth not able to find more than an equaliser during their 1-1 draw.
It was a point that took them out of the bottom three on the final day, relegating Luton Town on goal difference instead.
"I think there's a comradery in the squad that can be built upon, but obviously, the Championship is a tough league," Crooks told BBC Radio Humberside.
"You need quality all over the pitch; I think we've got that, but we'll need to add to that if we want to improve our situation next year."
The season finale came as "a relief" to Crooks, who joined the club in January,, and is already looking forward to getting "a fresh start in the summer" with the club.
"Have a positive pre-season; that's what we've got to think about now," the 31-year-old added.
"The season is done. We can forget about it and focus on next season."
