In 2017, Utai signed on with the Auburn Warriors in the Ron Massey cup. On 24 September, he scored the only try for Auburn in their Ron Massey Cup grand final defeat by The Wentworthville Magpies.
Utai joined the Wests Tigers in 2011, making his first appearance in the first round of the season. He was a regular on the wing throughout the season, and was re-signed for 2012, and signed a one-year extension in October 2012.
He originally signed the Crusaders Super League club for 2010 but failed to recover from a knee injury. Instead Utai joined NSW Country Rugby League Club, Young in Group 9.

Making his NRL debut in 2002 NRL season, he scored 13 tries in 21 appearances and played in only 2 losses all year. However, the club did not play in the semis because of salary cap breaches. He was named the Dally M Rookie of the Year. In 2003, he scored 21 tries in 27 games, including scoring triples in three consecutive games.
Utai was selected to represent the New Zealand National Team on four occasions between 2002 and 2005, all matches against Australia.
