William Dumbili, like many, pursued the dream of becoming a professional footballer but hung up his boots two years prior to writing this fictional narrative. With football no longer a realistic option, he picked up writing and started this novel only a month after quitting the sport. This is the first published work from the 23-year-old from South London. Caged In is inspired by William’s own involvement and the experiences of those around him.
In England, it is almost every boy's dream of one day playing in the Premier League. Tommy Okafor and his two best friends, Jamal and Kwame, are no different. Other than for the love of the game, like many teenagers, they see football as an escape route from London's dark side. The three teenagers from Croydon all play for professional football clubs and are focused on making it to the very top.
Even though Croydon is in a period of transition, the same issues still lay beneath the surface. Broken homes, drugs and gang violence are rife with many being consumed by their environment. Amid this horizon of hope and aspirations to a brighter future, Tommy's life is quickly thrown upside down after being dropped by his club. His football career is at a crossroads with uncertainties over his next move.
Meanwhile, Jamal and Kwame deal with greedy football directors and unsupportive parents. They too have tough decisions to make and what they choose could shape their future forever. This is a story of three lives on the same path, all pinning for success. But will the challenges of the London streets have anything to do with their getting there?
