MK Dons sign Brighton Goalkeeper McGill on Loan



MK Dons have signed Canadian goalkeeper Tom McGill from Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion on a season-long loan.

The 24-year-old moves to Stadium MK after being part of Canada's squad for the Copa America earlier this month, where they reached the semi-finals.

McGill, who is yet to be capped, told to the club website, external: "I got told you can play with freedom, within the realms of what we're trying to do here, and that's all any player wants to hear really."

MK Dons boss Mike Williamson said McGill, who is the 10th new signing this summer, was a "bright" player with "the intelligence to excel" during his time at the League Two club.

McGill's transfer means new Seagulls manager Fabian Hurzeler is likely to choose between Jason Steele and Carl Rushworth for their opening Premier League fixture at Everton on 17 August, following an injury sustained to Netherlands international Bart Verbruggen.

MK Dons begin their League Two campaign at home to Bradford City a week earlier.
