Evra 36 years of age, arrived at the club's Rush Green training complex on Wednesday morning before passing a medical and signing a short-term contract until the end of June 2018.
Evra has been assigned the no. 27 shirt and could make his debut against Watford on February 10 at London Stadium.
"It's amazing to be back and i am thankful to West Ham for giving me the opportunity to do my job. When i wake up and know i am going to work hard, to have fun with my team-mates and give my best on the pitch.
I want to say a massive thanks to West Ham, to the chairman, to the manager to all my teammates, who have given me a nice welcome, my agent and my brother.
Evra was sacked by Marseille earlier this season and banned by Uefa following an altercation with a fan.The ban which runs until June 30, only relates to Uefa tournaments and does not prevent Evra from playing in any domestic competitions including the Premier League.
Evra says he jumped at the chance to sign for West Ham once he was made aware of the opportunity to be reunited with David Moyes whom he worked with in Manchester United.
The deal could be done in five minutes because the main thing was for me to join West Ham and to help my teammates to win as many games as we can.
"It was the fastest thing I have done in my life because both parties wanted to work together, so it was very easy to make an agreement."
