In 2017, Norris also played for Southern Vipers in the Women's Cricket Super League. She played one match, bowling three overs and dismissing Jenny Gunn for her maiden KSL wicket.[14] 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.[15]

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 4/45 in a match against Western Storm.[16][17] She was the joint-third leading wicket-taker across the whole tournament.[18] In 2021, she was the joint-second leading wicket-taker in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, with 13 wickets at an average of 13.30.[19] She achieved her Twenty20 best bowling in the tournament against Lightning, taking 4/14 from her 3.5 overs.[20] In the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, Norris took 11 wickets at an average of 30.09, including taking her List A best bowling figures, again 4/14, against North West Thunder.[21] In the final of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, Norris hit her List A best of 40* as part of an unbroken stand of 78 for the eighth wicket with Emily Windsor to help her side recover from 109/7 to win the match, and the tournament, by 3 wickets with two balls to spare.[22] She also played six matches for Southern Brave in The Hundred, taking 3 wickets at an average of 22.66.[23] In 2022, Norris took two wickets in four appearances in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, and was Southern Vipers' leading wicket-taker in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with 12 wickets at an average of 19.75.[24][25] She was again in the Southern Brave squad in The Hundred, but did not play a match.[26]
