Stringer has been mostly plying his trade in England since 2011 when he left Munster to join Saracens on loan. The 37-year-old also had a spell with Newcastle Falcons.
Capped 98 times by Ireland, Stringer could end his time at Bath with a Premiership medal. They face Leicester Tigers in the semi-finals on Saturday.
The Corkman will link up with former Munster team-mate Sam Tuitupou at Sale, and he looks set to compete with Scottish international Chris Cusiter for the number nine shirt.
Steve Diamond, Sale Sharks’ Director of Rugby, said, “Once I heard that Peter was looking for a new club I made my move and I am delighted he has decided to join us.
“He, like Chris Cusiter, has bags of experience and I am sure he will be a great addition to our squad. Peter will also be able to assist youngster James Mitchell, who is improving all the time and will no doubt be fighting for a place in the team soon.”
Sale Sharks finished this season in seventh place in the Aviva Premiership.
