agree  Jason Schrier: I should just add that in sports in the U.S. you only hear "scout." The "talent" is left off. "Talent scout" as a whole term is used more often in entertainment

neutral  Jason Schrier: To answer Richard's comment. I can't speak for the U.K., but in the U.S. it would not be "trial." It would be a "try out." "
51 mins
  -> OK Jason. In the UK it's a "trial".

agree  Gilmar Fernandes: Try out for the US, but I imagine Rich Purdon needs British EN.

agree  Georgia Morg (X): a footballer has a trial for a potential new club before he is signed. I have never heard "try out" as a noun.
