Nathan Krakouer

[Cicjose]

He is the second Sun in the space of two weeks to be released for personal reasons, after Rex Liddy was let go late in November.

After coming to the Suns from Port Adelaide, Krakouer, 23, played 13 games in Gold Coast's inaugural season but said he had fallen out of love with the game.

"It was a real tough decision," Krakouer said.

"I've been thinking about it for a very long time, it wasn't easy, but I'm happy with the decision I've made.

"A lot of personal stuff has built up and I just want to get back to Western Australia and get myself right.

"I feel like the love's not there for the footy to do that hard work that you need to do to play AFL level, and I didn't want to drag the club around and drag myself around for the next two years trying to find every motivation in my body to get the hard work in.
