If Hattrick Youthclub thinks one of your players has previously been scouted and rejected, by another team, then the 'hand' icon - will appear next to his name; on both your squad overview page and on his 'Details' page.
Clicking the icon will reveal the one, or possibly more, team(s) that could have rejected your player, before your scout found him for you. To confirm which team(s) actually did reject your player you will have to check your players 'Memorable Moments', on Hattrick. If the clubs listed on Hattrick Youthclub are indeed in your player's 'Memorable Moments' list then you can mark them and the scout report that the previous team received, for your player, will be revealed. With a bit of luck the report will contain new information about your player's skills.

Insert rejected player:
With Hattrick Youthclub it is sometimes possible to see if your youth players were rejected by another manager, after you accept them into your youth academy. In these cases you may be able to see extra information about your player - for instance, the information from the scout report that the other manager(s) received for this player. If you click on “Memorable moments”, on the youth-player's page, in Hattrick, you can see if your youth-player has been previously rejected; the date this occurred and which youth-team made the rejection are shown. The youth-team-id as well as the exact date can then be inserted on the player's page, on Hattrick Youthclub.
Click in the middle of the page on the link: “Who scouted the player before you did?” Important: Because it is our wish is that our playerscollection gets as big as possible so more managers can enjoy additional information, it is indispensable that you also insert the players that you reject to become part of your youth academy, and insert them as rejected player. This can be done with just a few clicks. You have to copy the complete text from the scout (starting with “Call with”) and insert it at the menupoint “rejected players” and then “Add rejected player!” You can also take a look at the video.
