The ex-Hull KR man, 25, is seen running and throwing himself through a closed door before celebrating the act at a student flat in Dunedin on Saturday.

England went out of the Four Nations after Australia beat Samoa on Sunday.

"It is being dealt with internally with the person involved and they will be disciplined," said England squad manager Jon Roberts.

He added: "On behalf of England Rugby League, we apologise for the behaviour and have arranged for the repair of the small amount of damage."

The incident came following England's 16-14 defeat against New Zealand in the competition and the players were given permission to go out afterwards.

The player made his England debut against Samoa, before playing against Australia, but was dropped for the final game against the Kiwis.
