ZEPHANIAH Skinner has quit the Western Bulldogs.

The talented indigenous forward will return home to his home in remote Western Australia.

Skinner, 23, played for the Dogs in their exhibition match in London last week but has been battling homesickness.

The Dogs will pick an extra player in the draft to replace Skinner.

He played eight games since joining the Dogs with pick 88 in the 2010 national draft.

List Manager, Jason McCartney said Skinner notified his teammates earlier today of his intent to return home to Noonkanbah in WA and effectively retire from AFL football.

"Zephi, this morning, told his teammates that he will be retiring from AFL football and returning home to be with his family and community, where he feels a strong sense of responsibility," McCartney said.

"We really didn't want to lose Zephi, as he is a well-liked person here, but respect his decision to return home to his family.

"We thank him for all his efforts and wish him every success in the future.''
