Hills will be hoping his behaviour does not impact his hopes of becoming a first-team at Norwich.
Having come up through the academy, the ace is hoping to add to his five appearances following loans at Accrington Stanley and Stockport County.
As for McGeehan, he is entering his second season with Northampton after spells at Luton, Barnsley and Colchester United.
He too came through the ranks at Norwich but failed to make a senior appearance for them before leaving in 2015.
McGeehan met TV star partner Tiffany during the Covid lockdown, with the pair getting engaged in 2021 and marrying a year later.
They share two children together in Jude, 2, and Heath, who was born last month.

Sam Thompson mortified as Pete Wicks reads old thirsty tweet from Love Island star
Sam Thompson was left mortified as Pete Wicks reads old thirsty tweet from a fan who has turned out to be a main feature of this year edition of Love Island. Sam Thompson was left mortified as Pete Wicks reads old thirsty tweet from Love Island star. The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, was joined by his best friend to record an episode of their Staying Relevant podcast, when Pete dug up an old tweet directed towards Sam. At first, reading out the tweet, Pete said: "Where do I apply to sit on Sam Thompson's face? Asking for a mate." Sam looked shocked but then proclaimed that he knew who had sent the flirty message, and disclosed that she is currently a contestant of this year's edition of the ITV2 reality show. Bursting into laughter, Sam said: "No way!" before claiming that the person behind the tweet was in fact Helena Ford, who is just days away from the Love Island final and has been coupled up with footballer Harry Cooksley on and off since her time on the series began. Pete explained: "She tweeted this in 2017," and Sam described her as one of the 'main characters' on the programme. Pete pointed out to the I'm A Me Out Of Here! winner that the two will cross paths when he makes an appearance on Aftersun, and put pressure on his pal to bring up the tweet. He added: "I don't mind coming on to ask her!", to which Sam simply laughed. Teasing what he would ask Helena if he met her, Pete said: "So, Helena, what do you think of Sam's face? Do you want to sit on it?" Sam admitted that no one had ever done such a thing to him before and Pete immediately noted that he wanted to 'dig into' the situation further. " It comes after a dramatic night on Love Island for air hostess Helena, 29, and couldn't believe what they were seeing, as Harry called out Helena amid his flirty comments with Shakira during Thursday's instalment. During the Grafties, Harry and the rest of the villa were shown a clip of Helena from weeks ago when she told a co-star that she wasn't all in for Harry after their on/off couplings. Harry seemed shocked by this, claiming at the time Helena had told him she was all for him. So to see Helena claim otherwise left him stunned, while this was weeks ago before they gave things another go, and before they went "exclusive". Just hours earlier, Helena was left in tears when she found out Harry was having chats with 'ex' Shakira after their constant triangles across the series. While Harry had told Helena that Shakira admitted she still liked him and was trying to get over the situation, he failed to mention his flirting and how he'd told Shakira they should go on a date outside of the villa. Not only that, but he suggested to Dejon he still liked Shakira too, or at least that he hadn't fully processed what happened between them because he moved straight on with Helena. Helena was left crying over the situation, as other Islanders called out Harry's behaviour. So when the Grafties kicked off and the clip of Helena played, Harry's reaction shocked everyone, including viewers tuning in. He claimed to be bothered about Helena not being honest with him, and Toni immediately picked up on Harry "trying to pick a fight" with Helena just hours after he learned Shakira still liked him. Viewers believed Toni was onto something, and they too questioned if he had an agenda. Fans immediately suspected Harry was "looking for an out" with Helena, and was perhaps trying to force her to end things, or make it seem as though she was the cause of their split, if a split happened. Fans accused Harry of looking for a way to end things without coming across as the bad guy. Slamming his antics as "diabolical" and "shameful", fans said they knew exactly what he was doing. One viewer said online: "I think Harry is trying to pick a fight with Helena so he can end it and make her seem like the villain… not on." Another fan agreed: "Nah Harry really gonna pick a fight here so he can try and crack on with Shakira again. He's an actual piece of s**t." A third fan said: "Harry we know why you're tryna pick a fight have some shame." A fourth fan commented: "Harry is a sick sick man picking a fight with Helena so he has an out is diabolical." A further comment read: "HARRY IS A VILLAIN. HE IS GOING TO USE HELENA'S ACTIONS TO PICK A FIGHT AND FREE HIMSELF LIKE HE AINT BEING DOING ALL THAT AND THEN SOME!!!!"

Greg James is named as godfather of Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo's baby as he emerges victorious in Radio 1's Giant Face Off
Greg James has been named the godfather of Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo 's baby after emerging victorious in Radio 1's Giant Face Off. The latest challenge from Radio 1 saw Team Greg and Team Jamie tasked with deciphering a series of clues leading them to different areas of the country. Once a location had been determined, the race was on to collect a flag with each opponent's face on it - and most flags wins. After a tense few days of sending their teams as far afield as Barry, Derry and even the Shetland Islands, as well as a literal race to the finish in Newcastle, Greg emerged victorious with 10 flags to Jamie's nine. But the challenge came with consequences, with Jamie set to take over as host of Radio 1 Breakfast if he had won. However he lost, and the Made In Chelsea star's forfeit was that he had to name Greg as the godfather of the unborn baby he is due to welcome with wife Sophie. Hours before, Jamie had told Sophie live on air that godfather Greg was a possibility if he lost. Speaking on the show, he said: 'So I just got a message from Sophie my wife saying "How are you, just checking in". And i said before that I actually haven't mentioned the fact that you potentially could be godfather of my child so I thought I might tell her now. [Phone rings] I'm actually terrified...' After a few niceties, Jamie broke the news, saying: 'You know how I've been doing this sort of Giant Face Off with Greg all week where I need to win! Yes? He continued: 'Just quickly, I haven't told you this... I'm going to keep it very brief. There are forfeits at the end. Greg's is hilarious... I get to take over the Radio 1 Breakfast Show when I win. 'I have a forfeit as well. Um... just very blase... if I lose Greg becomes the godfather of our child.' After a period of silence, Sophie replied: '... Absolutely, wonderful' 'So you're happy for Greg to...,' Jamie began before Sophie added: 'Godfather Greg, I can't wait. It's got a ring' Hours before, Jamie had told Sophie live on air that godfather Greg was a possibility if he lost. Speaking on the show, he said: 'So I just got a message from Sophie my wife saying "How are you, just checking in" 'She seems fine with it?' Greg said tentatively, before Jamie added: 'Hmm, yeah I know Sophie very well. Once she's off air it will be a different conversation, I think.' 'Thanks honey I just want to let you know that I love you!' before Sophie jumped in with: 'Ahhh, make sure you win!' After saying 'I love you' twice with no response from Sophie, she hung up and the radio station erupted in laughter. Confirming Greg's win on Instagram on Friday, a clip showed him running down a bridge in Newcastle to collect his flag after the pair received their final clue from a band live on air. Arriving at the bridge, Greg was greeted by two flags attached to it with his and Jamie's face on them. He was then handed a pair of scissors to cut Jamie's flag down, leaving his remaining and thus winning the game. Sophie and Jamie, aged 36 and 30 respectively, announced earlier this year that they were expecting a baby together. But Sophie revealed on her and Jamie's newly named podcast NearlyParents, that she has struggled with some aspects of her pregnancy. She confessed that when her second trimester hit, she felt like she was 'dying' and was dealing with a lot of hormones that made her frequently feel irritated. 'This girl has gone from a bit of a b***h to don't come near me,' she quipped. 'Up until week eight, I was smooth sailing. No good aversions, no sickness, so much energy, I was like what is every talking about this is unbelievable. 'Week eight hit and everyone's starting to grate to me a bit. Like that man sat next to me on the plane breathing, like is it illegal if I punch him in the face? 'If you're a fan of the podcast, I love you so much but you're not going to like me if you meet me at the moment.' Jamie said he struggled to get his head around Sophie's mood changes with pregnancy, recalling: 'I asked Sophie if she had any cravings and she said, ''No, the only craving I have is hating you''.
