The 27-year-old centre has a wealth of experience, having played for Cardiff Blues before making a big impression during his time at Sale.
The big-tackling Welshman has spent the past two seasons in the Top 14 but he is now looking forward to teaming up with former Blues boss Dai Young at Wasps.
Thomas, who can also play at fly-half, told the club's official site: "I am delighted to be returning to England to be part of an exciting squad and coaching team.
"I have enjoyed my time in France but feel it is the right time to return to England and be closer to home.
"I know Dai Young well from my time at the Blues, and am looking forward to working with him again."
