Club career

Early career

Novinič joined Italian club Milan from Nafta Lendava in June 2007.[1] He spent four seasons in the club's youth system and was a member of the under-20 side who won the Coppa Italia Primavera in 2010, 25 years after the club's last success in the competition.[2]

Novinič was also called-up a couple of times for first-team games since 2009, but eventually he was never fielded nor named on the bench.[3][4]

Lanciano

For the 2011–12 season, Novinič was loaned out to Prima Divisione club Virtus Lanciano.[5] He made his official debut for the club on 7 August 2011, in the first preliminary round of the Coppa Italia against Castel Girone, coming off the bench in the second half, as Lanciano lost 2–1.[6] He went on to make 12 league appearances, as Lanciano won promotion to Serie B through the play-offs.

Teramo

At the beginning of the 2012–13 season, Novinič was sent on loan to Seconda Divisione club Teramo.[7]
