Judged on this season alone, Norris graded 18 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 12% of the 26 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 15th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 33 Norris is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 11 appearances (36% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.8, Norris carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 26 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
