Code-hopping sports star Karmichael Hunt has pleaded guilty to drug charges.

The 28-year-old Queensland Reds player has entered his plea in Southport Magistrates Court.

Hunt has pleaded guilty to four charges of possessing cocaine, with original charges of supply being downgraded.

Police allege Hunt arranged to pick up drugs with suspected drug trafficking kingpin and former professional rugby league player John Touma on four occasions from September 1 to October 3.

Hunt’s lawyer Alastair McDougall said the facts alleged by police weren’t in dispute and his client had made poor choices.

He said the footballer would pay for those choices for the rest of his life.

It’s alleged Hunt purchased a total of 12.5 grams of cocaine on the four occasions.
