Tranmere manager Ian Lawes said on Norris’ arrival: “I've known James for a long time from when I worked at Liverpool with the younger age groups. He suits the mentality, he works hard, he competes, he runs, he's tenacious, always all in.

"He never lets you down in his approach to the game and his commitment, and it's good to have him in."
