Thomas Peter Wayne McGill (born 25 March 2000) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League Two club Milton Keynes Dons, on loan from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.
He has previously had loan spells at Worthing, Greenwich Borough, Basingstoke Town and Crawley Town.
Born in Canada, he made six appearances for the England under-17 national team and was called up to the England under-19 squad, before confirming his allegiance to Canada in 2023 after accepting a call-up.
McGill was born in Belleville, Ontario, Canada to a Canadian father and English mother, moving to England at the age of four with his mother after his parents split up. [3] He joined Brighton & Hove Albion's academy in 2014, aged 14. [4] On 30 July 2018, McGill joined Worthing on a season-long loan. [5] However, eight days later, his loan at Worthing was cancelled, after Lucas Covolan signed a new contract at Worthing. [6] On 31 August, he joined Greenwich Borough on a loan deal until 4 January 2019. [7] On 11 January 2019, he joined Basingstoke Town on loan until the end of the season for whom he made 11 league appearances. [8] [9] [10]
In July of the same year, McGill signed a new two-year contract with Brighton, extending his stay at the club until June 2021. [4]
On 24 January 2020, he joined EFL League Two club Crawley Town on loan until the end of the season, before rejoining Crawley on a season-long loan deal on 2 September. [11] [12] His professional debut came on three days later, in a 3–1 EFL Cup defeat at home to Millwall. [13] McGill made his Football League debut on 3 November, coming on as a substitute in the 55th minute for the injured Glenn Morris, where he conceded the only goal of the game in the 1–0 away defeat at Walsall. [14] He started Crawley's following match on 8 November – a 6–5 FA Cup victory over Torquay United – but suffered a head injury shortly into the second half, leaving him unconscious, and was substituted off for Stuart Nelson. [15] [16] On 12 January 2021, McGill was recalled from his loan spell by his parent club Brighton & Hove Albion. [17]
He was named in a Brighton matchday squad for the first time on 3 February, staying on the bench alongside fellow goalkeeper Christian Walton in a 1–0 away win against defending champions Liverpool, claiming their first league win at Anfield since 1982. [18]
With Robert Sánchez falling out of favour and Jason Steele taking the number one spot, McGill spent the final stages of the 2022–23 season as back-up to Steele, with Albion's manager Roberto De Zerbi saying that "He deserved the possibility to come on the bench." [19] [20] Brighton went on to seal a place in the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League for their first European qualification in the club's history. [21] In June 2023, Brighton announced McGill had signed a new two-year contract with a one-year option to remain at the club. [22]
McGill played his first professional match in almost two years on 22 August 2023, coming with the under-21's in the 3–2 away win over League Two outfit Walsall in the opening group stage match of the EFL Trophy. [23]
On 24 July 2024, McGill joined League Two club Milton Keynes Dons on a season-long loan. [24] [25] He made his debut for the club on 10 August 2024 in a 1–2 home defeat to Bradford City. [26]
McGill earned six caps for the England under-17's. [5] In March 2019, he was involved with England under-19's but remained uncapped. [27]
In March 2023, McGill accepted a call-up to the senior Canada side ahead of two CONCACAF Nations League matches against Curaçao and Honduras. [28] In June 2023, McGill received another call-up to Canada, as part of the final squad for the Nations League Finals in Las Vegas. [29] On 19 June, McGill was called-up to the final squad for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup. [30]
In June 2024, McGill was called-up to Canada's 26-man squad for the 2024 Copa América. [31]
