In 2010 Koopu played alongside Stacey Jones and Awen Guttenbeil in rebuilding Pt Chev Pirates rugby league club in Auckland Rugby League's Phelan Shield.
After being released by the Warriors, Koopu accepted a one-year contract with the Melbourne Storm for the 2009 season. The Storm won the Premiership that year, though it was later stripped after their long-term salary cap breaches came to light in 2010.

It was not until 2004 that he made his debut for the New Zealand national rugby league team. Koopu seriously injured his shoulder in 2006 and never fully regained his consistency with the Warriors.

Koopu started playing rugby league for the Taniwharau Rugby League club in Huntly, where he attended school at Te Wharekura o Rakaumanga. In 1998 he also represented the Waikato Cougars, played for the Junior Kiwis and was named in the National Māori tournament team after representing Waikato Māori. During the early part of 1999, Koopu played for the Glenora Bears and represented Auckland North. While contracted to the Warriors, Koopu also played in the then feeder clubs for the NRL franchise, the Wynnum Manly Seagulls and the Newtown Jets. Koopu also represented the NZ Maori at the 2000 RLWC and played for the Kiwi's 3 times.
