Club career

Husie IF Born in Malmö, Noring began his career with Husie IF, a local club from Malmö having their first team in the seven tier league.

Trelleborgs FF Noring was spotted as a gigantic talent by Trelleborgs FF, a club well known for their ability to develop promising keepers. The club signed him in 2006 and Noring was playing in the youth team. This continued until the start of season 2009. The club had seen departures of Marcus Sahlman and Johan Dahlin and many thought they would buy in a new keeper. Instead, they gave Noring, at the time 18 years old, full confidence to prove that he was ready for the first team. In his first season, he played 29 out of 30 games, conceding 32, having 8 clean sheets. He also had a saving percentage of 78% (5th in the league). After that season he was voted as the rookie of the year.

In the beginning of 2010, Noring got an injury and Trelleborg were struggling against relegation. After 8 matches, he was back again. As of 1 August 2010, he had played 8 games, conceding 7, having 2 clean sheets and a saving percentage of 82%. In January, Noring was on trial at Fulham, this led to the London club making an offer which was subsequently rejected by Trelleborg.
