Norris made just one Championship appearance last season as John Ruddy quickly established himself as the club's number one goalkeeper and he is likely to have slipped further down the pecking order following the signing of Portugal number one Rui Patricio earlier this summer.

Nevertheless, the former Cambridge United man impressed in his cup outings against top-flight opposition last season, keeping clean sheets against Southampton, Manchester City and Swansea.

Now, the 24-year-old has agreed fresh terms with the newly-promoted side, signing a three-year deal with the Molineux-based club.

Speaking to the club's official website, Norris expressed his delight with the deal.

“It’s nice to have the club show so much faith in me and it’s really pleasing to sort my future out so early on," he explained.

“It was really nice to have that chat and get it sorted before the season starts.

“It reinforces the confidence the football club have in me, it’s a huge compliment.

“It’s been a fantastic year for the football club, I’d have loved to have played a bigger part than I did but the part I did play, I am extremely happy with. It was a positive year for everyone involved.

“We can’t underestimate the level of the opposition that we will be coming up against next year.

“We faced a couple in cups last year but the Premier League is a completely different beast.

“I know for a fact that no one here is underestimating the size of the challenge ahead.”
