In August 2011 he was transferred to another Lombard club AlbinoLeffe along with Marvin Maietti and Matteo Doni. He won 2012 Trofeo Dossena with the reserve in June 2012. In 2012–13 season he made his professional debut, partially due to the club lack of new signing due to relegatation from Serie B and heavy point penalty in 2012–13 season due to involvement in 2011 Italian football scandal. However it still had heavy competition between the former youth products: Andrea Belotti, Massimiliano Pesenti and Manuel Personè (left in January 2013).

His performances at the start of 2012–13 season made him earned a call-up from the Lega Pro under-20 representative team (all born 1992 or after), and scored in his debut against Croatia U20 in October 2012, just 6 minute after he substituted Francesco Agnello.{{cite news|url=http://www.lega-pro.com/sito/index.php/rappresentativa-news/2116-italia-lega-pro-croazia-4-2|title=ITALIA LEGA PRO-CROAZIA 4-2|date=10 October 2012|accessdate=13 January 2013|publisher=Lega Pro official site|language=Italian|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131024154502/http://www.lega-pro.com/sito/index.php/rappresentativa-news/2116-italia-lega-pro-croazia-4-2|archivedate=24 October 2013}} In December 2012 he received another call-up from Lega Pro, but from "U19 team" (despite the team consist of players born 1993 or after, the U19 A team in fact in born 1994 season),{{cite news|url=http://www.lega-pro.com/sito/index.php/news-sportive-/2544-triangolare|title=L'ITALIA LEGA PRO U.19 E' PRONTA PER IL TRIANGOLARE DI COVERCIANO|date=9 December 2012|accessdate=13 January 2013|publisher=Lega Pro official site|language=Italian}} for a triangular tournament between U19 A team and Serie D representative team.
