The 26-year-old was involved in a sex scandal with two teenage girls on a pre-season trip with Canterbury Bulldogs in 2020.

Together with Corey Harawira-Naera, Okunbor was initially sacked by the Bulldogs before successfully appealing against his NRL deregistration.

Okunbor had his punishment reduced to a 14-game suspension and $22,500 fine.
