Cahill has enjoyed a run of games for Albion U21s of late and the club's official website reports that he pulled off a number of impressive saves in the recent 2-2 draw against PSV Eindhoven in the Premier League international Cup.

And Cahill told www.brightonandhovealbion.com: “It’s been really good, I feel like the past few months I have been really progressing and performing which is important. For any player it’s massive to be playing games, translating the things you do in training into a match environment. I get a buzz from keeping clean sheets, making saves and helping the team."
