He was an unused substitute for the final game of the 2010–11 season, a 4–4 draw away at Huddersfield Town. Norris sustained an injury in pre-season which kept him out for the majority of the 2011–12 campaign, though he managed to score 4 goals in 7 Development Squad appearances and in April 2012 he made his second first team appearance in a 2–1 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, coming on as a substitute for Shaleum Logan after 81 minutes. That same month he was offered his first professional contract, a one-year deal to be part of the Development Squad. During the 2012–13 season, Norris failed to receive a call into the first team squad, but was Brentford\'s top scorer in the Professional Development League 2 South, netting 10 times in 18 appearances. He added a further three goals to his tally from as many Middlesex Senior Charity Cup appearances.\n', '
