He signed a contract extension with Tromsø in September 2022, running through to 2024.^[3] In the same month, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2005 worldwide.^[6]

In 2024, after the Norwegian Under-19 team qualified for the UEFA Under-19 Euro 2024, Tromsø refused to let Norheim play in the tournament, as it clashed with several of their games at the same time.^[10]
