In July 2003,[citation needed] Novembre was signed by another team from Apulia, in the form of U.S. Lecce, where he played three seasons in the youths system.
[3] Juventus youth goalkeeper, Antonio Mirante was sent out on loan during that transfer window and hence, Novembre and Jess Vanstrattan were signed to provide extra cover for first choice Gianluigi Buffon and experienced backup Emanuele Belardi.
Despite taking part in several friendly matches, as well as summer tournaments,[4] Novembre spent the entire 2007–2008 season behind Buffon, Belardi, and Vanstrattan in the pecking order, partially due to his young age and lack of experience.
In July 2008, Novembre joined Figline[5] as free agent, serving as a reserve to experienced goalie Stefano Pardini in his first season with the club.
In his second season with the club, Novembre continued to serve as a back-up to Pardini and made an additional seven appearances in the league.
