As McGill commits to the team for the next two years, he will face competition for the starting goalkeeper position from Jason Steele and Bart Verbruggen. McGill's Canadian international background and experience gained from his stint at MK Dons are expected to help him improve his skills further.

Seagulls manager Fabian Hurzeler expressed his support for McGill, praising his contributions to the team. Hurzeler is excited to see McGill's future development and believes he will continue to grow as a goalkeeper.

Another young goalkeeper, Carl Rushworth, is also vying for a spot in the first team. Rushworth has had loan spells at Swansea and Hull City, and his talent could pose a challenge to McGill in the years to come.
