Goalkeeper signs new deal as Albion face a summer of decisions
The Canada goalkeeper, 25, is now under contract until 2027.
He spent the first half of last season on loan at MK Dons, starting 25 games, but was recalled in January.
He was on the bench in the FA Cup with Jason Steele injured and Carl Rushworth cup-tied.
Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: 'Tom has been an important part of our goalkeeping team for a long time, and we're pleased to see that continue.
'He gained some valuable experience with MK Dons this season and we're confident that Tom will continue to improve with us.'
McGill received his first call up to the Canada senior squad in March 2023, before being named in his country's 2024 Copa America squad.
Albion have an array of goalkeepers backing up Bart Verbruggen and Steele.

Carl Rushworth was also recalled from loan in mid-season while Kjell Scherpen has been on loan at Sturm Graz and James Beadle at Sheffield Wednesday.
Killian Cahill has been around the first-team squad with younger options including Steven Hall, brought over from Australia, and Lorenz Ferdinand, who spent time with Havant and Waterlooville recently.

Crystal Palace, Player of the Match winner Chris Richards 'embraced a tough game' in draw at Chelsea
USMNT center back Chris Richards and his Premier League club Crystal Palace are off to a strong start to this season, adding to last week's Community Shield triumph with a 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Sunday. Richards was named Player of the Match in the draw, nothing new for one of the Eagles' stars during last season's drive to the FA Cup. The 25-year-old is set for a heavy workload this season as Palace compete in the Conference League and may still have to bed in a new back if Marc Guehi skips town before the end of the transfer window. RECAP, HIGHLIGHTS — Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace But Richards says manager Oliver Glasner has imparted grit and focus into this side, and it's paying dividens around Selhurst Park. 'We try to block out the outside noise and put in good performances,' Richards said before accepting his POTM award. 'I think that's what we did today. Now we have Europe on Thursday and hopefully we can put in a good performance.' Europe has been a bit of a potential distraction, as Palace have been waiting to see whether they'd get the Europa League berth provided by winning the FA Cup or if they'd be dropped to the Conference League following a contentious summer drama involving the Eagles, Nottingham Forest, UEFA, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Chelsea provided further reason to focus on Week 1, as the Club World Cup champs would provide just as stiff a test as Liverpool delivered in the Community Shield. 'One thing we talked about was embracing a tough game, embracing the toughness Chelsea was going to bring,' Richards said. 'It wasn't perfect but as long as we could complete a clean sheet it would be good.' Richards said the Eagles will count a draw as a good start to the season, and they've already got that preseason silverware in their pocket. Now they turn their attention to Thursday against Norwegian side Fredrikstad in a Conference League playoff game. Then? A combustible affair with Forest on Sunday. Palace will surely be up for it.

Witton progress in FA Cup, Winsford United hammer 1874 Northwich
WITTON Albion progressed in the FA Cup and Winsford United smashed 1874 Northwich in a busy afternoon of Mid Cheshire football. Albion had to come from behind to overhaul lower level AFC Liverpool 4-1 in the preliminary round at the U Lock It Stadium but there was no doubting the outcome in the end. Adam Moorcroft's second-minute opener for the visitors fired an early warning to Witton, who got their noses in front by the break thanks to scores from Billy Jones (26) and Joe Duckworth (40). Two minutes into the new half Freddy Garbutt made it 3-1 to dampen Liverpool's hopes of a fightback. The tie was sealed with Garbutt's second 14 minutes later. Ben Harrison's side will play host to Darlaston Town in Northern Premier League West on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Winsford United sent 1874 home with their tails between their legs following a 5-1 hammering in the 'derby' at Barton Stadium. Oli Pope was among the home heroes, bagging a hat-trick in the Midland League Premier Division encounter that attracted a crowd of 556. Blues were 4-0 ahead inside 24 minutes, with striker Matty Birchall starting the rout with his first goal of the season in the sixth minute. Pope doubled the lead three minutes later, receiving a ball over the top at the back post and making no mistake with finding the net from short range. The third goal was 'ditto' the second and then Elliott Coleman produced a top-drawer finish for the fourth. Greens then held out Winsford for 60 minutes, though they were saved by the woodwork when Birchall rattled the post. There was no denying Winsford a fifth though and it was Pope who showed some neat control of the ball before slotting home his third in style in the 84th minute. The closest 1874 had come was when Kyle Worsley hit the crossbar with a free-kick in the 72nd minute, before Liam Fitzpatrick netted a consolation four minutes into added time when he cut inside, beat three men and then rifled his shot into the top-left corner. Elsewhere, Barnton netted a 4-2 home win against Wolverhampton Casuals at Townfield. George Edwards put The Villagers ahead in the second minute but the visitors got themselves level courtesy of Connor Parker after 33 minutes. The response was almost immediate, Thomas Matthews restoring Barnton's lead. Callum Parker's goal four minutes into the second stanza gave his side breathing space and Jordan Sherlock's 56th-minute score put The Villagers out of sight. Casuals' second goal from the penalty spot late on was tucked away by Kyri Kourouyianni.
