"He's been a fantastic person at our football club. We just wish him all the very, very best," Bombers list manager Adrian Dodoro told NAB AFL Trade Radio.
"He's getting back to some family in WA."
Colyer played 87 games for the Bombers and booted 54 goals after being drafted via pick 26 from Claremont in 2009 and making his debut the following year.

He missed the start of 2018 due to foot surgery, but returned in round 15 and played eight of the final nine games.
The 27-year-old is the fourth West Australian to land at Fremantle this off-season, following Jesse Hogan (Melbourne), Rory Lobb (Greater Western Sydney) and Reece Conca (Richmond).
