He joined the Saints last season, following Nick O'Brien to the Saints after they played together in an Essendon District Football League premiership with Strathmore.
O'Loughlin had an injury-enforced delayed start to the CHFL season, but still managed 13 appearances.
He had various roles through and around the midfield, being pivotal to Carngham-Linton finishing in the top eight for the first time and going on to play in two finals.
Saints coach Clayton Scoble said it was disappointing to lose the Melbourne-based O'Loughlin, but he was unable to continue with the club owing to work and family commitments, with a child on the way.
Scoble said O'Loughlin had been keen to stay, but it could not be done.

"He'll be missed," he said.
