He was the runner-up at the 2014 BDO World Darts Championship and also lost in the final of the 2012 Zuiderduin Masters, with Stephen Bunting prevailing on both occasions. In 2015, he switched to the PDC and, after reaching the quarter-finals of the 2016 World Championship, he was named the PDC Best Newcomer of the year.
Norris returned as the eighth seed at the 2010 World Championship, but lost 3–2 to Robert Wagner in the first round despite averaging 90 compared to Wagner’s 86. He had a mixed 2010 season, in which he won the French Open by beating Kim Huybrechts and also got to the semi-finals of the European Open in Airdrie. Norris attempted to qualify for the UK Open but fell in the last 64 to Ryan Murray.
Norris played in his fourth successive World Championship in 2012 and once again won his first round match, this time against 14th seed Benito van de Pas 3–2.

In December, Norris reached the final of the Zuiderduin Masters, a run that included a 112 three-dart average in his final group match as well as two 170 checkouts. However, he was eventually beaten 5–0 by BDO number one Stephen Bunting in the final.
Norris won his first European Tour title by narrowly defeating Jelle Klaasen 6–5 in the final of the German Darts Championship. The win gave him entry into the Grand Slam of Darts, but he failed to win any of his games to finish bottom of the group. Norris earned £35,000 for throwing a nine-dart finish in his first round win over Michael Smith at the Players Championship Finals. He reached the third round, where he lost 10–5 to Darren Webster.

After the culmination of the 2015 BDO World Championship, where Norris lost to Darryl Fitton in the second round after missing three match darts, Norris confirmed his intention to enter the PDC’s Q School, ending a nine-year stint with the BDO. He stated that “I’ve done the BDO circuit for a long time and nothing seems to be changing quickly enough. I’m not getting any younger, so it’s the right time to give the PDC a go. I’ve spoken to them (BDO Events) on a number of occasions and they haven’t been able to give me straight answers, there’s nothing on paper in terms of new events and so on. It’s the same story every year and sometimes a change is as good as a rest, so I’m going to give it a go with PDC”. Norris won a Tour Card on the first day of the event by beating Carl Abbiss 5–3 in the final qualifying round. He also threw a nine- dart finish earlier in the day during his fifth round victory over Jason Lovett. Norris’ first quarter-final appearance in the PDC came at the final UK Open Qualifier in February where he lost 6–1 to Phil Taylor. He entered the UK Open itself in the third round stage and lost 9–6 to Kyle Anderson.
