The 24-year-old played all six cup games (FA and Carabao Cup) last season, keeping five clean sheets.

“It’s nice to have the club show so much faith in me and it’s really pleasing to sort my future out so early on," said the former Cambridge United stopper.

“It was really nice to have that chat and get it sorted before the season starts.

“It reinforces the confidence the football club have in me, it’s a huge compliment.

“It’s been a fantastic year for the football club, I’d have loved to have played a bigger part than I did but the part I did play, I am extremely happy with. It was a positive year for everyone involved."

Norris also made his league debut in the final day defeat at Sunderland.

“We can’t underestimate the level of the opposition that we will be coming up against next year.

“We faced a couple in cups last year but the Premier League is a completely different beast.

“I know for a fact that no one here is underestimating the size of the challenge ahead.”

Norris will likely be Wolves' number three this season behind John Ruddy and new signing Rui Patricio.
