She played one match, bowling three overs and dismissing Jenny Gunn for her maiden KSL wicket.[9] Ahead of the 2018 season, she moved to Loughborough Lightning, but did not play for them until 2019. Across her three appearances, she bowled three overs for no wicket.[10]
In 2020, Norris returned to Southern Vipers for the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in all 7 matches, including her side's 38-run victory in the Final over Northern Diamonds. She took 12 wickets at an average of 17.91, including taking her List A best bowling of 4/45 in a match against Western Storm.[11][12] She was the joint-third leading wicket-taker across the whole tournament.[13] She has also signed to play for Southern Brave in The Hundred.[14]
