"It's exciting to be making the move, and through hard work and learning I'll look to push for a place."
Peters returned to England at 16 to join the Northampton Saints' academy before going on to play for Coventry and Doncaster with a spell at Dijon in France in between.
Standing at 6ft 8in tall and weighing 18st 5lbs, Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards recognises the strengths Peters has.
