Homesick Hawthorn star Bradley Hill (pictured)  has confirmed his desire to link with the Fremantle Dockers in 2017.

Despite having a year remaining on his contract, the 23 year old Noongar midfielder has asked the Hawks for a release so he can return home to WA.

The 3 time premiership winner says the move is all about being closer to family linking with older brother and Dockers star Stephen Hill.
