Stringer will also be reunited with former Munster and Ireland team-mate
Donncha O'Callaghan, who is now the Warriors captain.
And the former Ireland scrum-half, who won 98 caps for his country between 2000 and 2011, tweeted how excited he was to join the Warriors.
But
Adam Jones, who is always a laugh on Twitter, had a humorous observation regarding the scrum-halves somewhat late arrival.
Ugo Monye and David Flatman also tweeted a response:
Stringer is Worcester's third summer signing, following the arrivals of fly-half
Sam Olver and forward
David Denton.
