The 33-year-old won the Rugby Players' Association Players' Player of the Year in 2019.
Former England fly-half Danny Cipriani has signed for Bath Rugby.
The 33-year-old, who has played for Gloucester and Wasps in the past - joins on a one year contract to include the end of this season.
In a statement on their website Bath say the playmaker " is credited for his unique vision as well as his natural creativity and impressive attacking skillset" which helped Gloucester to a semi final place in 2018/19 and the Rugby Players' Association Players' Player of the Year 2019.
"Highly attack minded, Cipriani’s ability to predict the passage of play, create space and control the game is a key component of the fly-half's unique attributes," the club's statement says.
"His expertise in game understanding, combined with an exciting commitment to seizing opportunities, has often resulted in match-winning moments across his 18-year career in the sport."
On joining the Blue, Black and White, Cipriani said: “I’ve been really focused over the past three months on improving my running efficiency and kicking, while looking for a club that matches my ambition.
"After speaking with Stuart and Neal, it was clear that Bath offered that opportunity.
“We talked about what I could bring to the club and what Bath were looking for in a fly-half; someone who could be part of an attacking mindset, who could help unlock that aspect of the game and inject additional pace and vision - complementing the quality in the team."
Director of Rugby Stuart Hooper said: “Danny’s abilities are evident; his game understanding and management are exceptional as is his skillset in the backline.
"He has a real eye for detail around the attacking shape, I’m confident that he will bring an exciting dimension to our game."
