Tyrone's involvement in this year's All-Ireland SFC may just have ended four days ago but Mickey Harte is already planning for next year.

The Red Hands boss informed The Irish News that he will call a squad meeting this coming weekend to look back on 2016.

"I think we have to reflect on what happened, review it to some degree, bring out the positives, and set goals for the new season, however long it appears to be away.

"I think people need to get their mindset to say, this is what we're targeting next season, and even though we're not together, don't forget that process begins now."

Harte continued: "We achieved many of our goals. We wanted to retain the McKenna Cup, we wanted to get promotion out of Division Two and win the title, which we did.

"And obviously we wanted to win an Ulster title, so I suppose if you had said at the start of the year that you'd achieve those things, you'd have to be content to a certain degree.

"But I suppose the bar is put high in Tyrone now, and success is measured by All-Irelands.

"It's a long time since we ever got to and reached that bar, and the challenge is to get back there."
