During his three-year spell at Vicarage Road, Ince scored 11 goals in 93 appearances across all competitions, including hat-tricks against MK Dons and Birmingham City.
He made 28 appearances last season, with 11 starts, but struggled for regular game time under managers Paulo Pezzolano and Ed Still after previously being a regular under Javi Gracia.
The move marks Ince's first time playing in League Two.
He has accumulated 103 goals in 505 league appearances throughout a career that included stints at Blackpool, Hull City, Derby County, Huddersfield Town, Stoke City, and Reading.
Ince began his professional career at Liverpool, making his debut in the 2010–11 season after coming through the club's youth system.
"It's a great feeling, a bit full circle for me. I'm looking forward to it," Ince said.
He added that his hunger and desire have sustained his long career.
"I think that's what's allowed me to have the career that I've been able to have, the amount of games I've been able to play and the level I've been able to reach."
