Luke Arscott has completed his move from Exeter Chiefs to Bath on a two-year contract.
The 29-year-old, who made 99 appearances during two spells with the Chiefs, was allowed to leave with a year left on his Sandy Park deal for personal reasons.
He returned to the club from Bristol following their promotion to the top flight in 2010.
The full-back said: "I'm very excited by the opportunity to join Bath, and I'm looking forward to linking up with the squad for pre-season.
"You can see how much they have developed this year, and the potential that is still there, so it will be great to be part of that going forward into the new season."
Bath head coach Mike Ford added: "We are really pleased Luke is joining us. We had a gap in the squad for a more experienced out-and-out fullback, and Luke fits the bill perfectly. He's got all the attributes you'd expect, and he'll be a very good fit at the club."
