"I feel privileged and proud to have experienced two World Cups and a British Lions tour and to have had outstanding team-mates.
"While I won't be a part of it, having seen what Stuart has implemented over the Six Nations and in South Africa, I am excited about the future of this group of players and English rugby and I wish them all the best.
"I have at least one more year at Bath left and with a new coaching team I am excited about next season."
Mears represented his country on 41 occasions and made one Lions Test appearance against South Africa.
