[Tex/LaTex] Custom footer using tikz

Question

I am trying to modify the footer of my article document using Tikz but I don't know where to start. My idea is to enclose the page number in a circle
and between lines at the footer:

-------------------------------- ( Number ) ---------------------------

I tried to use scrlayer but I keep getting the cannot define \newpagestyle error. Another way I think, would be to use titlesec but I haven't found a good example so far, for footers. I also thought on using fancyhdr but I saw that it is not very easy to edit.

EDIT:

Using the first answer I modified it to get this:

which is what I wanted, using this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[top=3cm, bottom=3cm, left=4cm, right=3cm]{geometry}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[C]{%
\noindent%
\tikz[baseline]{\draw[color=back, line width=2pt] (-0.5, 0) -- (6, 0);}%
\protect\circled{\thepage}%
\tikz[baseline]{\draw[color=back, line width=2pt] (8, 0) -- (15, 0);}%
}

\newcommand*\circled[1]{%
\tikz[baseline]{\node[color=back, shape=circle,%
    draw, inner sep=4pt, line width=2pt] (char) {#1};}}

\begin{document}
\section{Section name}
\lipsum
\end{document}

I wanted this to match my Sections:

So, if someone has a better idea, I would appreciate it 🙂 But the current answer is great so far

Answer 1

What about the following code with fancyhdr package and tikz

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[C]{\dotfill \protect\circled{\thepage} \dotfill}

\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand*\circled[1]{\tikz[baseline]{\node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=2pt] (char) {#1};}}

\begin{document}
\section{Section name}
\lipsum
\end{document}
