Club career

Otukolo started his career with Haʻamoko United Youth. Before that he played at the Tonga Football Academy

National team

In 2017 Otukolo was called up by Timote Moleni for the Tonga national football team to play at the 2017 Pacific Mini Games. He made his debut on December 12, 2017, in a 4–0 loss against Fiji. Otukolo replaced Mahe Malafu who got injured after 46 minutes. Otukolo therefore played the whole second half against Fiji, conceding one goal which was scored by Saula Waqa in minute 84.[2] This was Otukolo's first game for Tonga. He has been a member of Tonga's U17 and U20 team, but he never played a game so far for the youth teams. However, Otukolo is still able to play for Tonga U20 as well as Tonga U23 so this could end in the future.
