Podmore took 11 wickets at an average of 21.81 that season before loan moves to Derbyshire and Glamorgan to gain match practice.
He said: “I’m delighted to join Kent and I’m looking forward to the opportunity.
“I made my first-class debut at The Spitfire Ground and I can’t wait to get to work with Matt Walker, Allan Donald and an exciting squad hungry for success.”
He has played six List A games and 20 T20 matches in his career to date.
Head coach Matt Walker said: “It’s a great acquisition for Kent. Harry is a talented bowler who we believe can thrive here.
“He is a skilful operator across all formats and a great character who will be an asset to our attack.”
