"I think we have the players here to really push on and challenge at the right end of the table.
"I've been lucky enough to have been promoted from League Two a couple of times, so I think I know what players are required to do it - and I think we have the quality here to do that."
Luton have also signed non-league pair Mark Onyemah and Charlie Walker on free transfers after successful trials.
Left-back Onyemah, 19, arrives on a two-year deal from Thurrock, where he made 20 appearances last season.
Striker Walker, 24, has agreed an initial one-year deal after scoring 43 goals for Ryman South and Sussex Senior Cup double winners Peacehaven & Telscombe last term.
"Mark's a young boy and I'm pleased with what I've seen but he's still learning and Charlie is an out-and-out goalscorer," said Still.
"There'll be no pressure on either of them to produce straight away. I know what they are capable of and I believe in their potential."
